NASA says that one of the moons of Mars, Phobos, is likely to die soon

NASA announced that one of the moons of mars should cease to exist in a short interval of ten million years. This news comes amid all the debate and planning for a possible colonization of the Red Planet later this century. Soon, the billionaires who got involved in a true martial race continue with their plans to step on Mars.

Understand what should happen to Phobos, one of the moons of Mars

The realization of the imminent collision was possible shortly after the meticulous observation of scientists from the US National Space Agency of a solar eclipse. On that occasion, a movement of Phobos towards the surface of Mars was noticed. Still according to the scientists, the capture of the movement that will result in the collision took place by means of the Rover Perseverance device.

With this, the death of Phobos is already announced, whose collision is inevitable, even if there are no further details at the moment about the phenomenon. In this regard, NASA said that a careful analysis of the moment of the eclipse in which Phobos passes in front of Mars will provide more information. For now, what is known is that this collision should happen in at least ten million years, but it could take more than a few thousand decades.

And what about colonization?

Mars is now the interest of a team of billionaires who speak openly about plans to colonize the planet. In this case, the idea also appears as an alternative way of escaping the alarming situation of scarcity of raw materials on our Planet. In fact, the Rover Perseverance device is part of a series of studies aimed at understanding Martian astrobiology with a view to colonization.

Therefore, the question may arise regarding the continuation of the attempt to colonize a Planet that should collide with its own natural satellite. However, as there is a considerable distance for the future population to review the problem, the search for colonization paths will continue.
