This website claims to be an excerpt from NAS9-17779 about exploring
Phobos:
But it says stuff like:
"(2) Crew vehicle tethered to surface from 30 - 50 m height (3-point
tether system for energy conservation)"
How is a mass supposed to just hang up there 30 - 50 m off the
surface of Phobos? Why? Is this really a NASA document?
