Before humanity sets foot on Mars, bees are more likely to do so, or at least their robotic version. Biorobots—machines that emulate the functioning of biological organisms—have reached space exploration with Marsbees, NASA’s plan to explore all corners of the red planet, even those where their rovers can’t reach.

The US space agency has had great success with its rovers, especially Curiosity and Opportunity, but these are limited in the extent of land they can cover. The rocky terrain of Mars is hellish for everything that moves on wheels, so the idea of NASA’s aerospace engineers is to use robots that can collect data by flying over the surface.
