Well, I never said that I knew how they did, just saying that heard the talk about nuking Mars to melt the core and create a magnetic field, and if the core is already at least partially heated, the thought occured to me that perhaps that makes such a thing more viable.

Well damn! Maybe if this is true it might actually be possible to give the planet the push it needs to induce the development of a magnetic field.

Oh yeah, I've heard that it wasn't technically feasible for a lot of reasons. Kinda' why I said, hey, maybe if there's heretofore unknown existing magma under the surface, maybe that can change some things. But thanks for the deep dive there, my man!
