Seems like a poor naming choice as Nano is already a common text editor

Many, many single-purpose rovers can be sent in the place of a human mission with no risk to human life. There is no scientific justification for sending humans on a science missio…

Pretty sure journals wouldn't allow it, but who's going to read my dissertation anyway (:
