I had wondered of Mars when watching this. It is my bad Astronomy fancy that Pheobos was a free roaming asteroid and collided with Mars. Would such a collision destroy Mars's inner core? Sorry for the change of direction

The Core is rife with errors.
Do you know how much energy is needed to stop the Earth's core from spinning? More then we can produce.
The Earth's Magnetic field doesn't really protect us from anything, so the worst that would happen would be compasses not working properly.
I love how it contradicts itself, too. "How to birds navigate?" "uhhh... By sight?" "No, Over long ranges, the Earth's Magnetic field!" - He says as birds proceed to crash into buildings that they'd be able to see.
Randomly soldering wires onto a metal won't give you power.
The list goes on.
Anyways, I rather doubt that anything (asside from planets) inside our solar system could do any significant damage to Mars.
