It's seriously discussed to give Mars a "protective" magnetic field like Earth has, by putting a powerful magnet in the L1 Lagrange Point.

We could get something like that for Earth if our field is out for maintenance for a while.

we can't coordinate basic health care communication on an emergency. Let's hope someone finds a way to place Advertising on those big magnets in case we came to need them.
