A marathon on Mars

Here at Getting There, we usually stick to earthly endeavors.

But this video of NASA’s Mars rover Curiousity doing a marathon on the red planet is too good to let pass.

Sure, sure, it took Curiosity like 11 years to complete the 26.2 miles, meaning it possibly set a solar system-wide record for the slowest marathon.

But in the video, it only takes the rover eight minutes!

So that’s fast.
