Scientists can string out things. It is a means of securing funding for long periods.

I think there has been evidence of life in the Venusian atmosphere since the 80s and on/in Mars since the 70s.

Weak evidence for life, at best. Which is why exploration continues, to search for stronger evidence. If irrefutable evidence of life were found it would open up many new avenues of exploration and research that would need funding, with strong justification - much stronger justification than currently exists.
