Hm. Isn't it funny how Hoagland 'predicted' a while ago that Phobos was hollow and the grooves were structural failings. He also said it was a space station of some sorts, but that's another story.

Considering Phobos is in a retrograde orbit...
I would like to see a scientific explanation for that.
Gravity, always gravity
Phobos rises in the west and sets in the east
Phobos doesn't revolve opposite Mars' rotation. But Triton does orbit opposite the rotation of Neptune. Is Triton a spaceship?
Its not heard of where a natural satellite has a reverse orbit than the planet it orbits.
My mistake. You talked about no "natural satellites" displaying retrograde orbits. That would imply an artificial satellite, which might be considered a spaceship by some.
I said nothing about spaceships.
Not really.
Any reason you have to act like an ass?
