   I don't have the Yutu 2 specs, but consider that on November 08, 2020,   
   from Sol 2933 to Sol 2936, Curiosity had driven a straight line   
   distance of about 123.14 feet (37.53 meters), bringing the rover's   
   total odometry for the mission to 14.47 miles (23.29 kilometers).

    Maybe C282Y is simply one of the hangers-on, a groupie following a   
   future guitar god of the human genome: an allele with undiscovered   
   virtuosity, currently soloing in obscurity in Mom's garage.
