I'm going to be around some astronaunts and aerospace engineers tomarrow. Also maybe some astrophysicists. Does anybody have some questions they'd like me to ask? I think it is about the Mars space missions, and the whole moon deal. Although, I think they will be looking for a wide range of questions. Bring em on!

Phobos Exploration

I would like you to ask them about whether Phobos will be explored on the Mars Missions. (eg. Will any probes be "piggy-backing" on their Mars Missions, which could be sent toward Phobos?).
I'd like to think that the USA is not going to ignore this enigmatic object.

And this is a good question. I was actually going to ask if living on Phobos of Deimos would be feasible, if Mars turned out not to be. Maybe not living on one of the moons, but utilizing one of them, much like we will soom be utilizing our own.

Now that they have shared their findings with the larger community someone else might find an explanation - or maybe it was actually made by life.
TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.
