I think the magnetic shield would still be needed, though, since the solar wind would otherwise just strip away the new atmosphere.

- java-man 6y agoDo both! I think the magnetic shield is an excellent idea.
- ColanR 6y agoIf we ever end of doing the deorbit, I really want to see a video of the impact. That would be intense.
