¿Por qué se considera a Marte un objetivo principal en la búsqueda de vida extraterrestre pasada o presente?<end_of_turn>
<start_of_turn>model
Mars, with its geological features reminiscent of Earth, such as valleys, river deltas, and polar ice caps, has long intrigued scientists in the quest for extraterrestrial life. Evidence suggests that Mars once had liquid water on its surface, a key ingredient for life as we know it. Recent discoveries of briny subsurface lakes and ancient dried lake beds further bolster the possibility that Mars might have once harbored microbial life. The planet's close proximity to Earth and its past potential for habitable conditions make it a prime candidate for astrobiological exploration.<end_of_turn><eos>
