If you free-fall until just before impact, you end up falling with a speed of 85 at an altitude of 27.5. Burning 90 units of fuel at that point kills your speed, but only once you're at altitude -15. Splat.

Would it be possible to burn more fuel than this such that zero altitude is achieved exactly? You'll be travelling upwards but the programme might not care.
