Terraforming Mars by Melting It

Terraformation of Mars

One thing many people, myself included, have wondered something. Could we terraform Mars? Terraforming, a process in which a place (normally a planet/moon) would be made habitable, may seem like an extremely difficult, if not impossible process. But is terraforming Mars something we may need? Personally I think it is something that would be highly beneficial to mankind in the future. We know that the technology exists to go to the planet, but making it habitable is a whole different thing. My idea is that if we drilled a hole down to the center of the planet, then we could create a small star by forcing a mass amount of hydrogen down to the bottom of the hole, thereby creating nuclear fusion which, with the iron and other dense materials bound to be at their core, would cause the star to collapse and melt the inside of the planet, increasing the strength of the magnetoshere and eventually release gasses into the atmosphere making the planet habitable.

Making the Star

A star, in a sense, is just a mass amount of hydrogen that clumped together and nuclear fusion began to occur. Normally this process takes millenniums or even eons, but if you only used a smaller amount of hydrogen, then you could create a small star. The materials in the core would get sucked into the star and cause the star to go unstable, as denser atoms will cause the star to go unstable (in nature a star will normally start to go unstable when it produces iron from the nuclear fusion), this may cause the star to collapse (or expand into the small version of a red giant, then shrink into a dwarf star, and eventually collapse into a black hole, however this is very unlikely as the star would be so small that the star would have to be pressurized into the size of something very tiny [the earth would have to become the size of a pea to become a black hole] and would likely just collapse due to the weakness of the gravitational field).
