    Humm, Now really, was that a "lucky shot" or does NASA have a better handle on things then we are lead to believe...?

    FWIW, I didn't have much faith in the cable/nylon rope feature of the landing, but it was astounding!

    Very well done NASA!

    I took it as a dig to MickyDs, of course that could be cognitive bias. It was on Neil deGrass Tyson's twitter, he's a physicist with humor, albeit dry.
