It took 11 years and two months, but NASA's Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover did it: It traversed 26.22 miles (42.19 km) on Mars, effectively finishing the first marathon on the Red Planet.
Opportunity project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California John Callas said in a statement."This is the first time any human enterprise has exceeded the distance of a marathon on the surface of another world."
The Opportunity rover, which landed on Mars in January 2004, is the older sister of Curiosity rover, which arrived on the planet eight years later, in August 2012.
