While I applaud Curiosity for its endurance, but let us give kudos where kudos are due! US Mars Rover "Opportunity" (MER-B), land on January 25, 2004 and surpassed the previous record for longevity of a surface mission to Mars as of May 20, 2010 and is still operational and mobile as of June 15, 2015. That makes it 4,050 Sols - What a grand RoI!
