It survived launching. It survived two years in space. What else do you want?

it had also deployed its solar panels & other stuff which meant it was in zero-g
configuration, not launch configuration, and had never been designed with landing gear.
For RichA to whine about it not surviving a 2mph (3ft/sec) collision would be like him to
drop himself headfirst onto a concrete floor, nose down, and not get a bloody nose.
