Curiosity On The Move

NASA's Curiosity rover took its longest drive on Mars yet last Sunday, covering 329 feet-- more than double its previous record.  NASA expects the new record to fall, however, when mission controllers allow Curiosity to navigate itself later on.

Curiosity is now on a five-mile journey to its prime science target, the three-mile high Mount Sharp.  The trek to the mountain is expected to take a year or more.
