That’s a great point and I should have included that as follows:
If you want similar to Earth levels of atmospheric pressure on mars you’ll need much more atmosphere than you have on Earth. In other words, you’ll need a lot more physical barrier between you and the radiation. AGAIN, if you can make the atmosphere you need the magnetosphere is a non issue.

The magnetosphere is a non issue. Mars loses atmosphere slower than Earth does currently. If you can replenish atmosphere to terraform mars at any useful rate why would you invent another system to hold in less atmosphere than you can already make?

yeah well could be a lot easier in some ways and harder than others. You’d want some insitu access. Oxygen refills; and you could scrub n empty some C02. New water hopefully.

Biosphere was a good run. Lots of problems but what a great field test.

like if it were tidally locked? so likely a dwarf star?

the real nft boom will be boring. Just like .com's are way more prevalent now than in the .com bubble and burst, but less valuable without all the crazy speculation. Just like Holland has more Tulips now then back during the craze.

I think DHS uses an in-house blockchain for their parcel tracking; and then I realized it'd be great for franchised services like planet fitness, if my membership were simply an nft I rent then it'd make a lot of account management between locations super easy to handle.

oh yes for sure; more than it is now. But it’s already getting less than half the amount of radiation / solar winds force than Earth is. BUT this is is still a non issue; if you can increase mars atmosphere to 3x Earths atmosphere for the same pressure than the loss rate even if it’s 30x what Earth loses is going to be a non issue. You already creating trillions of times of atmosphere than what you’re losing. So after atmo creation you just exude some 1/trillionth of the amount of atmo you already just created. SO ANY useful amount of atmosphere creation makes the magnetic shield a non issue of the goal is humans breathing.
Earth loses 90 tones a year. So if Mars loses 900 tones it’s still going to be a non issue because Earths atmo is like 5.5 quadrillion tones. And if you want 1 bar on earth you’ll need 3x that. And you want to worry about a 100 tones a year after we just made 16.5 quadrillion tones?
Hell if Mars loses 8100 tones a year it’ll be a nonissue.
