Maven, an orbiting spacecraft intended to study the Martian atmosphere, is about to make its 100th journey around the red planet.
It's a landmark victory for NASA and humanity at large, as the MAVEN orbiter has been a useful tool to evaluate the changes that have taken place on Mars to the atmosphere and shed light on what may lay in wait for the planet Earth.
This is especially interesting as people discuss the possibility of going to Mars through projects like Mars One and Space X.
