TORONTO – It may not seem like much, but for the Martian rover Curiosity, the trip it took across the Red Planet on Sunday was a long one.
Curiosity tumbled across Gale Crater driving twice as far as it has on any other day so far: 100.3 meters.
So far, Curiosity has driven less than two kilometres during its entire mission.
