I feel obligated to post in this thread. Mars isn't all it's cracked up to be. All red dust and mountains.

On a more serious note, I'd like to see the power source capable of generating the sort of magnetic field required for something like this. Even if the theory is sound (which is what they're testing, not the device itself) it would require an amount of energy that's an order of magnitude more than we're capable of generating right now. Show me a cold fusion reactor and then I'll believe this is feasible.
