Cocktail Astronomy | First Martian Sunset
When traveling to a favorite location, or perhaps a new destination, there is often that 'first sunset' photo that one takes on the first evening of arrival.
Well, NASA's Ingenuity holicopter took that exact 'first sunset' photo on Mars in February 2023. Ingenuity has shared many amazing picture and moments with us humans here on earth. We look forward to many more to come. Here's to you Ingenuity...cheers!Cocktail Pairing: this one is easy...we're going with the rum-based Martian Sunset (although the tequila-based Martian Sunrise sounds good too. Enjoy!

Cocktail Astronomy | Curiosity's Extraterrestrial Selfie
Here at Future-ish, we love astronomy and we love cocktails. So to prep our fans (and ourselves) for those stellar weekend cocktail conversations, we are pleased to offer our Cocktail Astronomy post each Friday.
Ok, we've all done it. Had a little too many cocktails at a party and then the shameless selfies start snapping. Well, Curiosity, NASA's Mars rover, couldn't help itself either and in Feb 2013 produced what may well be the first extraterrestrial selfie. Curiosity's selfie is actually made up of 66 individual selfies taken by Curiosity's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) which was cleverly positioned out of frame during the selfie fest. The selfie does actually serve a purpose though, it was used to document the first rock drilling site, a flat outcrop referred to as "John Klein". It's OK Curiosity, we've all been there.
Cocktail Astronomy | Mars Curiosity
Here at Future-ish, we love astronomy and we love cocktails. So to prep our fans (and ourselves) for those stellar weekend cocktail conversations, we are pleased to offer our Cocktail Astronomy post each Friday.
This week we are super excited about the launch of Curiosity, the most advanced rover ever to land on another planet. Curiosity and the and the Mars Science Library (MSL) are on their way to Mars where it will investigate whether the landing region has had environmental conditions favorable for supporting microbial life. Curiosity is scheduled for launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on November 26, 2011 aboard a Atlas V rocket. Touchdown on Mars should be in August of 2012. Best of all, you can follow Curiosity on Facebook and Twitter, which is the next best thing to heading to Mars yourself.
