A few more details on close encounters with Mars courtesy of NASA/JPL's Solar System Simulator:
Aug 12, 1971: 56.19 million km
Aug 27, 2003: 55.76 million km
Sept 11, 2035: 56.90 million km.
So, every 32 years the two planets get pretty close, the 2035 encounter being only 1 million km farther or about 2% farther than this week's opposition.
Now, the Aug 28, 2287 event will find the two planets 55.7 million km apart, or about 1/1000th closer. Whoopty doo.
