NASA plans to make a major announcement tomorrow on the “fate of Mars’ atmosphere,” and the scientific community is buzzing with excitement on what it might be.

The reveal is set for 2 p.m. EST, and will feature officials associated with the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) probe, according to an iAfrica report.

If the MAVEN space probe made the observations, then that gives some clues on what could be announced. MAVEN data is used to “determine the role that loss of volatiles from the Mars atmosphere to space has played through time, giving insight into the history of Mars’ atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability,” according to MAVEN’s mission page.

The last major reveal by NASA was that there was evidence water currently existed on the Red Planet and that it flowed seasonally.

I love that mars is a fricking cold arse desert planet with MAYBE a dixie cups worth of water and built to absolutely suffocate you and people are so far up its arse. Like people will pay millions to live there.

Imagine if we all lived on that hell hole but were getting satellite images of Hawaii. We'd be clubbing each other to death with blunt objects trying to get on that one way space flight.

Mars gets up to 80 during the day so it's not entirely cold and having flowing water is huge.

That's what I'm thinking - ancient Martians killed the planet with SUVs and pickup trucks.
