At the height of the space race in the late 1970s, the Viking probes successfully landed on Mars – collecting pictures, data, and samples from the red planet.
It was so successful that Soviet scientists wanted their shot at glory. But their focus wasn’t on Mars. It was on its moon, Phobos; named after the Greek God of fear.
After all, if NASA could land on Mars, landing on one of its moons should be easy, right?
Well, it turns out Mars’ largest moon was right to be named after the Greek God of fear.
Because as barren as the landscape looks, as impossible as it is to live there... something does.
And that something, doesn’t want to be seen.
