if I can find the time I want to take images of the landing and pair them with equivalent heights on earth. Fortunately the lady commentating was giving on-the-fly altitude callouts.

Pic related is only ~10KM above the surface. I think part of the reason the landing is confusing is that people (including myself) expected the rover to be far higher than that since it was approaching from space. But once visual of the ground is obtained it's really quite close. Most of the decent is done with the heatshield on.
