I read this fairly quickly, but why have they neglected the lack of a martian gravitational field to hold that atmosphere in place as being the most important thing of all?

Not sure why they’ve neglected it here. One article I read recently suggested planetary magnetic fields on terraformed worlds could be artificially generated in the future. Can’t imagine what the electric bill would be for a contraption big enough to do that!
