Doesn't that happen on geological time scales?


From the paper in the article:

>"MAVEN has observed the Martian upper atmosphere for a full Martian year, and has determined the rate of loss of gas to space and the driving processes; 1–2 kg/s of gas are being lost."

Earth's is more like 3kgs if I remember correctly
