I think it's interesting and I'm all for funding more of these missions, but they need to quit hyping these announcements up so much.

And I thought this was already known? Maybe Maven cemented the science, but I thought it has been generally accepted for a long while that solar wind stripped Mar's aptmosphere and the lack of a magnetic field like Earth has was the cause of it.

Then like most, got old, tired, dried out; yet some hard legs keep throwing money at.

You really think that if we go to Mars that 99% of Americans won't give a shite about it? If the events of "The Martian" happened, it'd be the biggest news story of all time, right under WWII.

This whole thing is retarded. We have a couple of dust busters roaming around a barren planet. No form of calibration or test control. We haven't stepped foot on this rock and yet "we know so much". What a crock. At least we BROUGHT BACK samples from the moon.
Now we are experts on Mars... that far away and we don't even know about 90% of our oceans?

Nasa announces new findings relating to the atmosphere of Mars which could give hints about the planet's past and the possibility of life on the red planet


Could, would, should, maybe, might, possibly, potentially BLAH BLAH

Has NASA fabricated any data yet to blame humans for Mars' atmosphere going away?

No news on if aliens are real? Giorgio Tsoukalos is disappointed in these findings.

Also, global warming, El Nino, and Y2K

It's that sweet pick up in your drive way that ruined Mars. And your cheap energy (coal) and your air conditioning. Feel bad, feel real bad. There were Martian polar bears that perished.( 10 million years ago). It's science and there is not any political agenda here.

Mars’s once hospitable atmosphere could have become so dry and cold because bursts from the sun that battered it during its early history, according to new studies released by Nasa.

Measurements from Nasa’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (Maven) mission show that the atmosphere was ripped away by a huge burst of gas and magnetism from the Sun. The results of the mission bring far more detail to scientists’ understanding of how the Martian atmosphere changed during its early life.


So...climate change?
