Deimos and Phobos Interior Explorer that the moons of Mars may have formed after a huge collision with a protoplanet one third the mass of Mars that formed a ring around Mars. A third hypothesis is that they may have co-accreted with the parent planet. DePhine mission would explore the origin and the evolution of the two Martian satellites, by focusing on their interior structures and diversity. The mission would attempt to determine if Phobos and Deimos true siblings, originating from the same source and sharing the same formation scenario. It would also determine if both natural satellites are rubble piles or solid bodies, and
Colonization of Mars of life forms, including humans, to survive unaided on Mars's surface. Some ideas of possible technologies that may be able to contribute to the actual terraforming of Mars have been conjectured, but none would be able to bring the entire planet into the Earth-like science fiction habitat pictured. Mars lacks enough gravity to hold on to any kind of substantial atmosphere, which in turn means that the planet will remain cold and cloudless, and the extremely scarce surface water frozen. Mars has no global magnetosphere as Earth does. Combined with a thin atmosphere, this permits a significant amount of ionizing
