Well Larry, since you asked…  here is touchdown video which has never been done before.
We did our first driving last week, and as Chuck says,  “traffic is very light” at 1/3 the gravity of Earth.
Also, our wheels (aluminum) and rims (titanium) are doing much better than Curiosity. (lesson learned)

Fun fact:  Both rovers can do donuts “In Place” and “In Situ”
