Moons of Mars May Be Mission Destinations

The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, seem to some scientists as candidates to be the destinations of possible space missions. Missions to the Mars moons are projected to be far cheaper than missions to the Mars surface. Phobos is thought to probably have many Mars meteorites on its surface. The gravitational pulls of the two moons of Mars are each a small fraction of that of the Earth, allowing for potentially easy landings.
