This is the dumbest shit, but if anyone is bored, here a question
Premise: Part of the reason why mars is dead is because of a lack of magnetic field that allows solar radiation to constantly bombard its surface
Broad Solution: Create a magnetic field to prevent this from occurring.
Issue 1: any solution will likely be highly engineered and require constant human attention to maintain. If a cataclysm occurred, the system would falter and return mars to a dead desert.
Issue 2: it will be highly taxing and expensive to maintain something like this for long periods of time
So my question is: how large of a celestial body will it take to stoke convection in mars' core and create a magnetic feild, and are there any candidate available or enough spare matter floating around to make one?
