Hundreds and thousands of people opposed political ineffectiveness on climate change, a satellite swings into orbit that should help create an explanation how climate change occurred, on Mars.

The team is seen celebrating @MAVEN2Mars' insertion around #Mars tonight @LockheedMartin mission control
The satellite is named NASA's MAVEN, it is en route to Mars that will last for 10 months, the most recent report says it just arrived the orbit of the Red Planet on Sunday night September 22, at around 10:40 pm Eastern Time. It was followed by an intense 33 minutes thruster burn as MAVEN slowed down to take over Martian gravity. It was understandably thrilled in the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
@MAVEN2Mars
Hello @MarsCuriosity and @MarsRovers! #MAVEN is looking over you. (In #Spirit)
#MAVEN's engine burn was 34 minutes, 26 seconds - 11 seconds more than nominal. In other words, "we nailed it." #NASASocial
Based on the statement of Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator, through Mashable,
"We're exposed to the same solar winds, the same environmental factors that Mars was in getting to the point to where it is today.What happened to its atmosphere that enabled the sun to just come along and scrape [it] away? If there are things that we can do here on Earth that will prevent that, then we want to be able to do them so that we don't end up like Mars,"
MAVEN is the acronym for Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution; it is satellite a climate detective. Its goal is to answer the question, how Mars lost all its water over a million years ago? When it still looked like Earth. Mars does not have enough air pressure, the main requirement to sustain liquid water from dispersing into space.
An animation of what Mars looked like years ago was released by NASA last week, from blue skies, lush lakes, to dusty tan hues.
