Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.

Imagine there was a chemical spill which caused all adolescent boys to stop maturing emotionally at around age 12.

Now imagine what the world would look like a decade or so later.
