Move Deimos

See linked picture of shadow of moon on the earth. That shadow is pretty small, and since it is already anomalous in the solar system that the moon is so big and that there is only one, that the eclipse shadow just barely touches the surface of the earth is an area for speculation as to its connection to other anomalous events. Which makes me wonder if it has gradually changed over time and, if it has, then what other changes might coincide with the point at which the shadow either first touched the earth or became small enough that it was a locality and not effectively a planet wide phenomena. And if that coincidence was life, why would that happen. I have heard a theory about the fact that the moon just barely occludes the sun during a solar eclipse with the similarity between the two apparent curvatures causing an interference pattern of intermittant light and shaddow right before and after a full solar eclipse being a speculated reason that monkeys may have first been caused to look up and become intelligent - through some kind of association between the rapid repetition of the light and dark, the lines of shadow it creates rushing across grasslands right before and after an eclipse, the curvatures and the relationship between the sun the moon, light, dark, night and day, but what if the effect also had some organizing influence on patterns of complexity in the much earlier history of the earth, if that moon shaddow, once it gets sharp enough, acts like a needle on a record and starts vibrations that resonate at a planetary and epoch- ranging scale?

So one way to test this would be if we sent out a Deimos lander with steering rockets that could put this Mars satellite in a stable orbit so that its shaddow just barely touched the surface of Mars, would it have a similar needle and record effect? Who knows and we might not find out for a couple of million years, but it is fun to speculate.

Also, as an Ares myself, I like the symbolism of bringing Deimos, which is supposed to signify the dread and terror that accompany war, into bridled purpose (see linked Wikipedia article).
