There is a rectangular building. You need to drop the lander on it. The 
building has a low co-efficient of friction. All around it is the 
Darksome Mire which has a co-efficient of friction near 80%. You can see 
the building ahead. When do you release the lander? Your airspeed is 
practically 18 knots.
