I think NASA was just being Phobophobic.

And why the f*** do we spend all this effort and money on Mars ?
Deep space is a pipe dream. You may make it there, but it’s a
one way suicide mission.

With a week's notice, the MAVEN spacecraft team carried out a rocket motor burn that boosted its velocity.......

Seems like NASA has some Mavens in control of that MAVEN

That’s okay. NASA “had” a satellite that actually crashed into Mars. That was an expensive oops.

So the science on Phobos’s orbital path and period is not settled?

“We know what the climate of the Earth will be in 200 years, but we don’t know where the moon Phobos will be in its predictable orbit a month from now.”

Back off, man. We’re scientists.
