It was supposed to be a 3-month exploration. But 10 years later, NASA’s Opportunity rover is still roaming the surface of Mars, making discoveries. The New York Times says instead of the planned one kilometer, Opportunity has traveled nearly 39 (or 24 miles). 10 years later, it still comes up with new discoveries, like a “jelly doughnut” rock that was not there when Opportunity passed the same spot two weeks earlier.
