A good opportunity is coming this year to see Phobos in an amateur telescope in July/August this as Mars is closest to us for some time. A great post as usual, the escape velocity is low enough you would have to be careful not jump of the moon! It would make walking on it almost impossible.
This is interesting, u have to bury your feet in the ground to not "launch"from Phobos.
Well the escape velocity is about 40km/hr so you would think it might be a bit of a stretch, but then again under such little gravity you could probably accelerate yourself to that velocity with a couple of skips.
That sounds like something I would do :D
Perhaps this will be easier once we have that base on Mars that Musk is talking about :D
It would be cost effective to launch missions to Phobos and Deimos with a low delta-v budget from Mars. Maybe you could post an article with it when it comes your telescope's way in July. I am sure to follow! I also post "sciency" stuff.
I did write an article recently for Mars, but it didn't get too much attention (Maybe closer to the time). btw I managed to image the Tesla Roadster last night...see my blog.
I expected more resolution but I should have known that it's a tiny tiny object so far away from the planet.
I predict a sport in the future called meteor hopping.
