It would be cool to have two moons, but I gotta say... ours is much better-looking.

Aren’t they really tiny? If you were on Mars, you would hardly notice them?

From an Astronomy Magazine article, it says Phobos appears about half the size of Earth's moon from the surface of Mars. Deimos is much smaller only 2.5 minutes of arc as visible from the surface of Mars or about 2 and a half times the size of Venus when Venus is closest to earth.
