As the fuel seemed not to have been expended in
a full landing burn, it may have detonated on
impact, thus adding to the size of the crater.

We'll presumably have a hi-res camera view in
a couple of MRO orbits.

A person at work used the term "lithobraking" to describe the landing.

No single drop of rain feels it is responsible for the flood.

A shame. Their last try was a punchline in Transformers, this one deserved better.
