Deimos’s escape velocity is only 5.8 m/s. A stone dropped from waist height would take around 30 seconds to reach the ground.

You could throw rocks from Deimos have them fall on Mars. Hint: throw them in the direction Deimos came from.

Deimos’s escape velocity is only 5.8 m/s.

Its orbital velocity would then be 5.8 m/2 divided by the square root of 2.

So, about 4.1 m/s. Or roughly 10 miles per hour.

Doable.
