~~To date Ingenuity has probably seen more total mileage of this planet than any other man or machine~~

Edit: Seems it's still only half of Curiosity's distance (15km vs 31km), but still impressive considering the timeframes (2.5y vs 11y)

Edit2: Our all-time hero Opportunity comes out on top at 45km over 15y

Correct:-

Ingenuity (JSON) - 15.1km Perseverance Rover (JSON) - 22.2km Curiosity (JSON) - 31.06km
