Spirit's record-setting drive:
On its 37th sol on Mars, which ended at 6 a.m. Tuesday, PST, Spirit broke the record for the farthest distance driven in one sol on Mars, traveling 21.2 meters (69.6 feet). Today's distance traveled shattered the Sojourner rover’s previous record of 7 meters (23 feet) in one sol.
She's got her eyes on the prize of Bonneville crater.

Posted by: Bill Ruppert on February 11, 2004 09:58 AMEd, if you credit me somewhere with a link, feel free to use anything you find here. Note, however, that my "transcriptions" of the press briefings are done live by a guy who can't type very fast so they're "rough", really rough. It wouldn't be fair to the JPL folks to quote them directly based on my notes here because I'm just not doing a sufficient job at getting their exact words.
