My only (tiny) disappointment was - after the heat shield separated, we got to watch it fall quite a ways. I was hoping to see the "puff" of dust when it hit the surface - but it drifted out of the frame before that happened.
It was pretty incredible to see that extremely clear and detailed video, and to realize that had all happened 100+ million miles away from Earth!
