Spirit Rover Makes Longest Trip Yet

ivan1011001 writes "Spirit traveled just over 88 feet in an attempt to visit the crater "Bonneville" to look for evidence of water on Mars. Engineers had hoped the rover would travel 164 feet, but Spirit didn't cover the full distance because it spent more time than initially planned studying rocks and soil along the way. This is longer than its earlier PR of 70 feet."

i bet it could steam ahead at like 80mph but NASA have decided to go as slow as possible then get a little faster each day, just so it can say it broke 30 speed records or whatever.
