A nine month mission has now stretched to six years. Now, this amazing robot is about to make tracks to a distant crater and one of the most amazing destinations of all. From NASA JPL.

Something about seeing tire tracks on another world just fills me with awe. It makes me proud to be a human, sometimes I wish more things could make me feel that same kind of pride.
