[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] How did they do it

[Dick Miller]

George, it will take more than a century for that rover to travel that 
distance. That is, if the likelihood of mechanical breakdown - or a 
Martian monster - doesn't come first.

It has traveled about 1.2 miles so far. In the article you cited, those 
were American decimal points, not European ones.
