Firebox Red Planet Rum - Ginger & Blood Orange Flavour

Product Information

The clear desert sky filled with twinkling stars above Jordan's Wadi Rum has turned into sand lashes, lit up brightly by the headlights of the parked jeeps. Hamad, one of our hosts, was right after all about the haboob (Arabic for dust storm) before we went to bed. The Martian, adapted from Andy Weir's popular novel, tells the fictional story of NASA astronautMark Watney (Matt Damon), who is presumed dead and marooned on Mars when his crew must abandon their mission during a surprise storm. Watney must use his ingenuity to survive alone on the red planet and find a way to communicate with Earth so he may return home. The film is latest great science fiction epic from director Ridley Scott ( Alien, Blade Runner). It is nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Actor (Damon). Afterwards, you will go to the tiny village of Colchani (salt miners' workshops next to the Salt Flats) to visit the factories and see the traditional means of table salt production. You will then be taken to the great Salt Flat of Uyuni (Salar de Uyuni), where you first will see the salt mining, and the piles of salt (pyramids of salt). After this, you will go to see the Eyes of the Salt. These are big holes in the salt flat, from which bursts out water at high pressure (this water comes from beneath this dead lake). Important: During the rainy season (from January to April), it is not possible to access Incahuasi Island because it becomes dangerous as water melts near the island. We will spend the first night in a hotel (salt made) in Villa Candelaria o San Juan. The itinerary and the transfer to San Pedro de Atacama may change depending on the weather conditions.

Throughout the film, Jared Leto’s drink has quite a bit of prominence in the story, as the characters are constantly drinking the alcohol’s hard kombucha, available in various flavors. This is a variant of the typical kombucha but with more alcohol (around 9%). This fermented beverage contains antioxidants, is a potential source of probiotics and may reduce cardiac risk. And being rude is not good. Before you realize it, you will unleash a tribe war in Al-Mamlakah al-Oerdoennijjah al-Hasji-mijjah, or the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as the official name of the country goes. Only kidding: The Bedouins are known for their friendliness and are extremely hospitable. Hot Air The difference between the two cores may explain why Earth became a thriving oasis of life and Mars became a barren rusty wasteland, the scientists speculate. The idea of extant microbial life on modern-day Mars is highly suspect, due to the pervasive arid and cold climate that presents a hostile environment for life. However, research into extremophile microbes (those that have adapted to live in extreme environments) on Earth may offer clues as to how microbes could endure in salty water under the Martian surface, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The innermost moon, Phobos, is heavily cratered and roughly 13.8 miles (22.2 km) in diameter. In about 50 million years, it is expected to break up or crash into Mars, according to NASA.However, to make sure that scientists don't misinterpret Earth contaminants sent on the rover for something native to Mars, the rover is equipped with so-called witness tubes, which are similar to sample tubes and are all opened at the same time. Scientists believe that although Mars currently does not have a magnetic field and so is unprotected from the sun’s barrage of charged sterilising particles, it may have done so in the past. The final stop of the day will be at the small village of Atulcha, to spend the first night. Arriving there, you’ll enjoy some hot coffee or chocolate, and later a delicious dinner.

The temperatures from January to May increase until at a comfortable level, and particularly in the day it can easily reach 19°C. However, the humidity from rain can cause a drop in the temperature.Extremophile bacteria live near hydrothermal vents on Earth, and may provide clues as to how life could exist on other worlds. (Image credit: NASA) Witness Tubes Listening to the heart of Mars has dealt a fresh blow on the hope of ever finding signs of life on the red planet. Bring money with you, as sometimes the ATMs do not work in Uyuni – it’s best to have money prior to arrival. There is no internet connection on the tour, as the places that you’ll visit are in very remote locations. All of the tours of the Salar de Uyuni start in Uyuni. The tours will not include your transfer from La Paz; you will need to organise and pay for this separately. The buses to Uyuni are overnight, departing from La Paz every evening, and arriving into Uyuni the next day at about 7:00am. You are able to start a tour on the same morning, as tours start from 10:00am. We recommend the bus company Todo Turismo, as it is the most well-known among travellers. NASA scientists believe that life may have once thrived on Mars, as there is ample evidence that the planet used to be much warmer and wetter billions of years ago. Whether there is anything alive today on Mars is an open question.
