Mars 6 is approx 1,500km to the SSW. Same story applies - it's two orders of magnitude further than any year of driving Opportunity has ever had.
You can see the landers and measure the distance between them yourself using Google Earth and switching to the Mars map. |

I guess the team in theory wouldn't want to speed a bit to such a hypothetical location. I guess starting a thread about a new mission to that region is out of the question. Hopefully some day that may happen. It's just great place. |
