We need to stick a magnet in a certain place out in space first. This is difficult, but far from impossible even with current tech-a mere 1 tesla magnet would suffice, about the strength of existing MRI magnets. The effects would be staggering-within a few years, you could start walking around on mars in a heavy coat with a breathing mask instead of a pressure suit. The rad situation would also sharply improve as the now protected atmosphere regenerated.

This is a project to approach in earnest as we push on towards colonizing mars.

>but we would be peeing SUPER concentrated urine
That could be processed to reclaim minerals.
How far are we planning to go with the terraforming, for instance, a project like a magnetic shield on L1 orbit?
