Space/Science » in reply to Why are space scientists more interested in Phobos than Deimos?

Further info.

The present martian atmosphere has a mass of roughly
25 trillion metric tons.
So even if Deimos were pure carbon it would only contribute a few percentage points
of additional C02 to the martian atmosphere if vaporized upon impact with the
martian surface, I'm sorry to say.
So my terraforming proposal would come up well short.
Alas.
