A thought occurred to me this morning about how one might jump start the terraforming process on Mars. What if we deorbited one or both of Mars' moons? I know this is a radical thought but hear me out.
A collission of that magnitude would in all likelyhood trigger massive volcanism and in all likelyhood free massive quantities of water from the crust. It would also likely thicken the atmosphere quite rapidly. The deorbiting of the moon/moons could probably be accomplished by setting a large enough asteroid on a collision course. Heck if the moons cores are metallic enough, over time the collision might even be able to induce enough rotation in Mars' core to generate a weak magnetic field.
