Lol why is this getting down voted?

It's a terrible headline that completely downplays a successful mission. Instead of focusing on the fact that they achieved a landing accuracy of 55m where previous missions measured in kilometres they went for a cheap joke. This is in spite of having a thruster fail that resulted in the lander tipping over but still able to deploy is rover. The same article from a better website would have probably faired better.

Oh, OK. I thought people didn't like that it's an actual tech post. Yeah, article title could've been better.
