Never successfully lands on Mars

Where will the first successful Starship landing on Mars occur? Success is gauged by not falling over or going kablooey within 15 min of touchdown.

For the named locations, landing in the vicinity would qualify (say, within 100 km), as would use of the name in official communications.

If you want some insight into SpaceX's thinking as of a few years ago, you may find this conference paper interesting.

Sorry about selling all my shares and messing up the probabilities, just need them manas

To clarify, does this mean between 50° north and 50° south?

@MalachiteEagle I hope they go there! That Mars has a crater the size of Hellas is just wild!
