Phobos, one of the MARTIAN moons, has a number of unique properties that make it an ideal location for profitable industrial development of Mars and indeed the Solar System. These properties include strong evidence of industrially useful liquid or gases, probably water, in the moon, essentially no gravity, and an unusually low but slow orbit around the planet Mars. Presently, no other body in the Solar System is known to share these properties. I will be discussing how to use Phobos to meet the future energy needs of the human race and establish a profitable manufacturing facility in Mars orbit, Earth orbits, asteroids, our moon, and then many other locations throughout our solar system. There are many more reasons, but most of all it can be done cheaper and more reliably than about anywhere else I have been able to find.
