Jason Bermas presents a 2016 interview featuring former NASA chief scientist Dennis Bushnell, who discusses using nanobots to survey Mars. Bushnell suggests that instead of sending humans, NASA could use "auto-bioluminescent" nanobots to send back data, allowing the public to explore Mars via virtual reality with full haptic senses. This approach is estimated to be 1,000 times cheaper than manned missions.
