NASA's Opportunity rover, Curiosity's diminutive forebear that has been trundling across Mars for over 10 years, has finally broken the world record for the longest distance driven on another planet. Since landing on the Red Planet in January 2004, Opportunity has now driven a grand total of 25 miles (40 kilometers), breaking the previous off-Earth distance record of 24.2 miles, which was held by the Russian lunar rover Lunokhod 2.
