Rover's Eye View of Three-Year Trek on Mars

During the three-year trek of NASA's Mars Rover Opportunity from Victoria crater to Endeavour crater, rover planners captured a horizon photograph at the end of each drive. 309 images taken during the 13-mile journey appear in this video.

I notice lots of comments complaining about the low quality of the images, but when you think chances are that camera was made back in 2002 or so, probably before some people here were even born... and it's kept working all this time as well, which is impressive.

Amazing 13 miles in 3 years That's a little over 4 miles a year. Awesome at this pace it will take about 9768466 years to circle the moon. Great pace set there NASA. Lol. Really 4 miles a year Those aliens must be laughing their asses off
