NASA TV is showing great coverage of the crater right now -- I'd
say the spacecraft is actually more than half-buried. Impact velocity
was estimated at 100 mph by one of the scientists -- I'm guessing it
was a bit more than that. Impact location is "1/2 mile west of Pad 12".
They gave GPS coordinates, but too quickly for me to copy them down.
