I had refreshed my screen but the old version still showed. I must have retrieved a cached version – restarting my browser fixed that. Sorry to bother you.

“Curiosity: Ten years since landing on Mars and the way forward”

might still need some adjustment. If it landed in 2012 then tomorrow will be nine years since landing.

Jim Davis: You are correct. I have rephrased the title. Thank you.

It’s 2022 already?

“At around 4 o’clock in the afternoon on Sol 3199 (the first sol in the plan we are creating today),”

There it is, they plan 2 years in advance.

Curiosity is about to begin its 10th year on Mars; it has not been on Mars 10 years.
