Ah, yes, but the Phobosians have other plans.

I did the math calculations a long long time ago but I figured that on Phobos the Martian planet will take up half the sky from horizon to horizon. That may be a little scary for an astronaut standing on Phobos.

50 million years?
I’m going to set my DVR right now to catch the epic moment! ;-)

Hence its use as the setting for the original DOOM series on MS-DOS. I loved those games... Bethesda’s remake moved the labs to the surface of Mars. I don’t think the moons were mentioned.

Phobos represents small scale accretion at work.
Both our solar system and galaxy are the product of accretive gravitational force

In perhaps 50 million years, Phobos is expected to disintegrate into a ring of debris. Why would it disintegrate rather than crash into Mars? The atmosphere is too thin to break it up or burn it
