Could Phobos be hollow ?

Be nice if they have lots of good metals to use that are easy to get to.

Not by any reputable astronomer it wasn't. From memory, I read in the Morning of the Magicians by Pauwells and Bergier (Bergier was a nuclear physicist who became journalist after WW2)

(Bergier was a nuclear physicist who became journalist after WW2) Actually he was an ASSISTANT to the French atomic physicist André Helbronner.

So would this be a good local for a manned mission or is Mars still pick # 1

I would hope they research the landing site befor putting anything there though. Would be cool if it had massive caverns that could be used as shelter.

I know what you mean, I just meant that say if it was riddled with caverns then maybe landing on it would prove a big risk, as you may land right on top of a cavern that may not be strong enough to support the weight of the craft.

We would have to send a satilite to get sismic readings first I'm sure to locate the safe zones, i'm really just talking out my ass though.

i'm really just talking out my ass though. Me too, I feel really intelligent now until waspie comes along and ruins the moment I sense his presence.
