It's down and all is working EXCEPT the solar generators
probably cos they're not pointing at the Sun - which is hopefully fixable - and not because a wire broke - which wouldn't be. The landing itself is a major achievement but so much better we get that data...
Unrelatedly there's also tons more water on Mars than we knew at first, enough that if it all melted the entire planet would be under one huge ocean. All iced up under the rocks innit.
