The MAVEN spacecraft was launched on November 18, 2013 and entered orbit around Mars on September 22, 2014. Its goal has been to study how the planet has lost the majority of its atmosphere over the last few billion years. This announcement heralds the first major findings from the spacecraft.
So, what has it discovered? You’ll have to wait and see.

skeptical of nasa on all announcements, will this just be another ‘bait and switch’ and give us the standard answer ‘this makes more questions than it answers?’
poor nasa, out of favor, out of money, too pedantic to really stretch for new innovative views and infested with 2nd stringers. just rehashing old tech and tweaking new tech. never daring to step out of the box.
