An outstanding accomplishment given the complexity of the landing and the fact that it was all accomplished by automation a few million miles from earth in a hostile environment.

I suppose 352 million is more than just a few .....

Its prolly a hoax or conspiracy. Nothing more than hollywood special effects.
