Most spacecraft travel to Mars by an eliptical transfer orbit called a Hohmann Transfer. This normally takes 8 months one-way, and can only be done once every 2 years from Earth. This is not the quickest way to Mars, but it is by far the cheapest, so this is the one used most often.
If you had lots of money and energy, then quicker journeys are certainly possible. In the future ion propulsion engines (already in use on some satellites, e.g. GOCE) could be used to theoretically drop journey times to 40 days.

The mars rover is a robot sent to mars to take samples and pictures for scientists to analyse back on earth, for detailed information i suggest Wikipeia
How long has the Mars rover been on Mars?
There's no specific time limit for how long a rover can last on Mars. Accidents and mechanical failure can affect the ability of a rover to survive. The Opportunity rover has so far been working almost non-stop for seven years. Its twin rover Spirit has not been heard from in almost a year and may no longer be functional.
