PERTH — NASA’s Perseverance rover has set a new off-world driving distance record, which Perth motorists put down to “no cones, no diversions and nobody from Dundee coming the other way.”
“Give me a road with no roadworks and I’d set records too,” said a Perth commuter. “I’d be on Mars by Christmas.”
