If I've learned anything, it's that to restore Mars' magnetic field, we need to restart it's core. A well placed atomic bomb should do the trick.

no no no no OH hell no. we can do better. Place a ring of super conductive magnets at about 80° north and south, cool them, run some current through them and BOOM magnetic field. then start melting the ices or even better, get some 10-20 mile wide asteroids and gently land them on Mars to pump up the atmosphere and create a hydrosphere. If we are gonna go big or go home, Let's go REALLY big!

I don't think francopoli has seen "The Core", which was a good choice on his part.
