There is a reason for one wheel to touch down first....it's called a crosswind.
There are very strict crosswind limits on the Shuttle. Far more limiting than the typical 25-30 knot limit on most modern commercial passenger jets.
That's why, on occasion, when the mission must end, and no delays are left, they de-orbit and have to land at, say Edwards, in California if the weather at the Cape preclude a landing.
Not the most desirable, though....costs a lot, a lot more money to land in California.
Both television and film pictures are obtained from a manually operated camera... two additional manned stations for motion pictures... an additional motion camera for motion pictures... two fixed, remotely operated motion-picture cameras...
During entry, descent, and landing, the spacecraft will be heated to thousands of degrees during aeroshell braking.

Yes I realize that Nasa never mentioned live animals on Mars in the last 32 years,and you have difficulty seeing faces the size of your oversized watch.So here is a similar face from Opportunity rover sol 1167. The animals are curious about both rovers for 4 years and the rovers have had tens of thousands of visitors if you include both Spirit and Opportunity.Phoenix has had several hundred animal visitors already in just 3 short weeks on Mars. Am I National Geographic ? No,but I designed the rovers (1987)and saw humanoids on Mars ince 2004. This pic from Phoenix is a "near humanoid" as best I can tell.

The strength of carbon-carbon with unidirectional reinforcement fibres is up to 700MPa. Carbon-carbon materials retain their properties above 2000C
