The scientists suggested a few ways to pull it off. These include restarting and circulating Mars’ iron core Oh well that sounds easy. Let's do it tomorrow then.

I just plug a power strip into itself and everything works great.

They want to squeeze Mars to try and make it’s core molten ? LOL How do they know it already not molten but just Too far away from the Sun
To: BenLurkin
The utter hubris. We can’t even unload container ships anymore, and we’re going to terraform Mars?

No need for a magnetic field - just throw a few GPS satellites up there and people will be able to get around.

We have gone from unbelievable technical lengths to prevent the introduction of ANY microorganism from earth into other planets (”do no harm”) to now thinking about how to create new magnetic fields around other planets to make them hospitable for earth organisms.
Nothing like consistency.

We just need to send all the celebrities to Mars who won't be able to survive another Trump presidency.
Their magnetic personalities should keep the cosmic rays and solar wind at bay.

"I just plug a power strip into itself and everything works great." Unbelievable, you have just discovered the source of perpetual energy!!!! Shhhhh...least keep it our secret until I can patent it! :^)

Just drill to the core of Mars and blow up about a hundred million nukes or so.
That’s all it takes from my random idea with no scientific thought behind it whatsoever.

Remember the Transform Mars by pumping CO2 into it’s atmosphere , so how must more CO2 can Mars take ,LOL

Gotta love theoretical physics.

Oh well that sounds easy. Let's do it tomorrow then. Maybe get 'er done before lunch, even. These are probably the same 'scientists' who think that (for the first time in the earth's climate-change history) our entire planet is warming up because of charcoal grills & gas-powered leaf blowers...

Mars doesn't need a magnetic field, it needs a new atmosphere, 78 percent nitrogen, 22 percent oxygen. Both gases can be obtained in the outer solar system, and perhaps even closer. Once introduced, it will take 100,000 or more years for the solar wind to strip the entire thing, if that's even A) feasible and B) related to the magnetic field of the planet.
