Opportunity Rover Breaks Distance Record!

The Opportunity Rover has been exploring Mars for over 10 years, and in that time it has traveled more than 25 miles. This broke the previous distance record for travel on another world which was held by the Lunokhod Rover on the moon in 1973. Congratulations to our own Larry Crumpler who's been helping to plan Opportunity's travels from the beginning.
