and 10 miles on the odometer-- the Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity, that is. (The length of a Martian solar day, one sol, is 24 hr 39 min 35.244 sec.)
Meanwhile, its twin, Spirit, is stuck up to its hubcaps in silt while NASA/JPL engineers work on strategies to get it moving again.
These robot explorers are seemingly indestructible!
