I think roughly 4200km from Spirit and 6400km from Opportunity:

The rovers have driven 8km and 35km respectively, so this is out of reach. :)

How far is it from the projected landing site of Curiosity?

At 6480 km, this is even further away and clearly out of reach.

Road trip!

Coming this summer!

An orbiter carrying tens or hundreds of small, throwaway rovers would be nice.
