Anyone here read Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars/Green Mars/Blue Mars
trilogy? Highly recommended if you're a fan of "hard" SciFi.
Forget about "restarting the core" of Mars. If I remember correctly,
Robinson's solution was to rain down enough ice asteroids to replenish
the atmosphere. Sure, without a sufficient magnetic field, that's not
a permanent solution on a geological scale, but who cares about
geological scales anyway.
The books also have a nice overview of what kinds of genetically
engineered organisms might be suitable for Mars. Mind you, they're
written about twenty years ago now...
