I’ve often wondered about the parched conditions on Mars. Could our oceans be evaporating into outer space? If so... was it Bush’s fault???? /sac/
Water molecules have sufficient weight to keep them earth-bound by gravity. Helium is lighter than air, but I don't think even helium can escape the tug of the planet.
As to Mars, it has a different atmosphere than Earth does. More carbon dioxide, and less nitrogen and oxygen.
Because of that (and the fact that it lost its magnetic core) it's bombarded with cosmic rays from the sun, where Earth's magnetic field repels them. All life on Earth would cease, if we lost our magnetic field.

Algore would probably buy that .. LOL
