Resolução como 'Sim' apenas se a NASA publicar comunicado oficial (nasa.gov ou artigo revisado por pares em periódico científico de alto impacto como Nature ou Science) declarando evidências de vida microbiana confirmadas em Marte até 31 de março de 2027. Descobertas de água ou ambiente habitável sem confirmação de vida resolvem como 'Não'.
