They have to go see, right? If lightning strikes twice?
In the meantime, NASA is building bridges to Islam...
Their last Phobos probe went out after seeing a mysterious object..
“Their last Phobos probe went out after seeing a mysterious object..”
That’s because Phobos is an abandoned alien space station! At least that’s what the Sci-Fi book I read in the Third Grade was about.
Exactly.
Starz just ran 2010 the other night...
Actually, the Soviets were so russian to get the rocket off in time for
that biennial window, that they neglected to remove a
diagnostic prom from the spacecraft.
Something happened on the way, and it re-booted to the prom.
Any way, that prom didn't contain code to maintain solar panel alignment.
Don't know if they could have done anything about it in time, let
alone at all, but once the batteries died, the was mission over,
except for the M&M meeting.
I can’t wait till they explain to the people on the ISS the proper way to bow towards Mecca when in Low Earth Orbit.
Was it 'full of stars' ?
Can anyone explain how Phobos was part of Gillivars Travels Tale years BEFORE it was discovered by astronomers?
Gullivers Travels is quite a book
The latter part where he compared the court room to “a bunch of Yahoo’s” shocked me quite a bit
And the scientist who claims he can turn sunlight into gold if he can only get ANOTHER 7 years funding
I know! I... 
know!
Well, it seems she found that Jack Black's stare at her bikini scene... 
in last years Gulliver's Travels unnerved her so, she left the production--
Bender, that's Phoebe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High... 
the question Balding_Eagle asked was about the Martian moon named Phobos!
Gadzooks, Hank, Jack Black mooned... 
a Martian named Phobos?
No, Bendy, he moon... 
me!
But I blew him up... 
with my Uranium Pu-36 blaster.
Well, Jack Black got what he deserved... 
after staring at Phoebe in her red bikini!
But, Bend--- Oh... 
never mind!
If at first you don’t succeed...
Thanks kronos77.
Trying to recruit a crew to make that first solar landing?
Sorry to say there is no soil on Phobos-—pulverized regolith maybe, but no soil.
Hope they can get it off the ground.
They did, but apparently not out of Earth orbit.
Saw the following at Space.com reading about the asteroid flyby.
Russian Mars Moon Probe Suffers Big Failure After Launch
Isn't it the [Soviet] Russian practice to rename failed missions "Cosmos-'number'"?
