  1. Am I a horrible person for thinking "why bother hauling an asteroid in, to drop on Mars, when there's two perfectly good ones already captured and orbiting the planet!"...? 🥴 (that's basically my question, as what follows below is just me playing devil's advocate... with... myself haha) I mean, I admit, I've never really read up on them. So I don't know their mass relative to Mars, and whether they would be a suitable size for this. Nor whether they're even the right type, assuming that's important (ie 'soft' rocky body vs solid metal). They aren't like our moon, though, which serves a function to how we live, through total manipulation. So in that sense there's not a functional tie to Mars, right? I do see an issue though, which this comes thanks to another video by Scott (🤘I learned something!), about it being easier to redirect an asteroid at a certain point further away during its encounter than it would be if trying once it's playing through the keyhole zone... point... corridor... spot (derp). So I can imagine that trying to shove Phobos or Deimos out of their orbit and into Mars might take considerably more propulsion compared to a redirect of some other asteroid that passes ""nearby"". Also, that either one can serve as an off planet base. But whether BOTH would be more useful than an atmosphere, is what I'd wonder. edit: proof read it and yet I still had a glaring typo in the first sentence! lol
