Why not pushing Phobos towards Mars before we terraform it ? 😅

[GhostNameless]

Humans need to increase the mass of mars to terraform it so would it be a good idea to crush both phobos and deimos into mars?

I truly believe Phobos will eventually break up as it comes nearer and nearer to Mars' surface. Now, whether that will form a ring or the scattered pieces will end up falling to the surface, that is another matter. But, that's a long time in the future and who knows that might kick off another life cycle on the planet. That to me would be even more exciting.

It can survive 50 million years until it rip apart by mars gravitational

[informationoverload]

I laugh every time I hear the words terraform and mars put in the same sentence. We can’t even stabilize our own planet. Forget generating life on Mars.
