come back when Mars has an atmosphere - already stripped away... cos no magnetosphere :P

No, it would destabilise the solar system. If you mean a heat source with no gravitational influence, then still no; it would just turn Mars into a hot wasteland instead of a cold one, since Mars has no magnetosphere to protect biological systems from solar radiation.

My really, that's not very mature now is it.
Your post mentioned nothing about protection from solar radiation, only that planets without magnetospheres could hold their atmosphere longer than originally thought. If doesn't specify whether longer or not with a magnetosphere, nor whether it would deflect harmful radiation, so get off ya high horse.
