Perseverance is officially a marathon finisher. NASA shared this week that the Mars rover has surpassed a total distance of 26.2 miles since it landed on the red planet five years ago. Considering its speed tops out at .1 mph under the best conditions, that's a pretty remarkable achievement. It crossed the marathon mark on June 14, according to NASA. "Perseverance is only the second explorer to travel the distance of a marathon on another world, following NASA's Opportunity rover, which accomplished the feat in 2015," the space agency wrote in an Instagram post.
