The exciting part about researching Mars is that there are still so many unknowns. The difficult part is to refrain from concluding too much from limited research. The most important part may be asking the right question. For example a why or How  question maybe harder to support than a question that starts with:
1. How does ... effect....?
2. What is the effect of ...?
3. What is the relationship between...?
You can start with a why or how question but reword to a testable hypothesis if-then statement or testable research question.
