    Something to bear in mind, how much distance will a rover cover during it’s lifetime? Single digit KM? And they also don’t weigh much either.

        As of December 9, 2020, the rover was 23.32 km (14.49 mi) away from its landing site. As of April 17, 2020, the rover has been driven on fewer than 800 of its 2736 sols (Martian days). As of 30 May, 2023 it had traveled 30.00 km (18.64 mi).

        Some people drive that to get to work.

        So maybe lose the smug, condescending attitude?
