Hi Steve,

The "first" magnetism could have been "twanged" exactly as you
expressed but didn't follow through with. Any number of meteor
strikes could have done that, if in fact it wasn't already there from
the primordial conditions of plasmas and moving charges during the
cosmic soup coagulating into the initial mass. This, after all, was
bred from a condition of extreme heat, escaping now to a Mars
condition of a frozen core in some several billion years hence.
