Four thousand Martian days after setting its wheels in Gale Crater on Aug. 5, 2012, NASA's Curiosity rover remains busy conducting exciting science. The rover recently drilled its 39th sample, then dropped the pulverized rock into its belly for detailed analysis.

      If we start now, we can probably have it delivered just in time for 4500 days.

      Four thousand Martian days

      Apparently it is measured in sols, and it was just the headline that was ambiguous.

        Curiosity doesn’t and that’s what the article is about.

          Curiosity isn’t the one reading the article.
