Mileage in extraterrestrial vehicles - Moon and Mars distances

I recently run into a cool infographic showing distances driven by vehicles on the surface of the Moon and Mars, and a great time-lapse of the martian rover Curiosity - its 9 month squeezed into a minute.
That’s all dandy, but one has to get to the Moon and Mars before being able to enjoy some offroading. How far are they? The answer is not one number.
In this post: distances to ponder.
