Even more impressive is the Opportunity rover which landed on Mars in 2004 and is still active. It’s now something like ten years beyond its planned mission life and has traveled 26+ miles on the surface.

Still working. Unmanned missions always outlast manned missions... By light years. It’s enabled us to obtain data from all over the solar system, which we’ll be studying for years to come and will pave the way for humans. If we don’t kill each other off first.
