Public opinion surveys are a powerful tool for influencing politicians or potential investors. If a survey of the American (or any other) population were conducted to assess public attitudes and perceptions of space exploration, particularly relating to Mars, what questions would you want to ask?
Here are some of my initial ideas:
-How interested are you in space / space exploration?
-Is the funding of space exploration too much / about right / not enough?
-Would you support a manned mars mission?
-Should this be funded by NASA, or would you support a privately funded mission?
-How likely would you be to watch key mission events (eg Launch, Mars Orbit Insertion, Landing, Earth Return) on television coverage?
-What, in your opinion, is the purpose of space exploration?
