What we need to do to Mars before trying to give it an atmosphere is to restart its magnetic field. I'm working on and off (mostly off) on a space opera in which that was done, and Mars subsequently terraformed, back in the mythical times Before The Interregnum which nobody remembers much of, so that I don't have to explain how it was done. :) -- Dorothy J.
