We need a question for NASA. It is for our project in Astronomy. The deal is that it has to be about Mars. Like, What is the relationship between the height of volcanos and the length of lava tubes? If you idea what I am talking about, PLEASE!!! We are desperate for a good question! It means alot if you can help us!
I dought that anyone on this site knows anything 'bout what I am talking about but like I sad, we need help! Thanks so much if you can help!

If the core has cooled on Mars, how long did it take and will it happen to the Earth?
How long did it take the solar winds to blow off the atmosphere?
How close is the gravity on Mars to the Earth's?
Would we be able to mine Mars and how could they do this without Earth type atmosphere?
How long could we stay on Mars before having to return for food,water, ext.?
If they brought some fire wood with them to Mars could they build a camp fire on the surface?

Hmm... when I look at mars the only question that always bugged me is why is the north ice cap smaller than the south?
Also, try permafrost stability. How long is it possible for permafrost or pingos to survive near the surface of mars before water sublimates out despite the soil cover? Consider various soil types. Relevant because if there could still be a lot of permafrost near the surface left over from warmer and wetter times, then it could be easy to extract and for colonists to use. Also, if there was some way to measure the amount of remaining permafrost, you could estimate how much water existed on Mars back in the day!
As for HOW one would calculate this, you are Nasa people and I am not. Good luck!

How will a manned Mars landing help find better evidence of life on Mars?
Is it possible there may still be some liquid water on Mars?
Could Mars ever be Terraformed by changing the air pressure or oxygen level? Is there any way humans could ever colonize Mars?
What resources could be acquired from Mars to be used on Earth, like rare metals or minerals? Will Mars trips ever become profitable, and when might that be?

I don't know about lava tubes, but this source has a lot of good information about Mars. It also has a list of open questions at the bottom.
