Jennifer Pestrak, Safety Assistant at Manchester Tank in Elkhart, Indiana, was watching the SpaceX launch at Cape Canaveral last Saturday and spotted an Amerex fire extinguisher as they were walking down the hallway to the outside doors. Jennifer said, "I thought it was pretty cool that NASA trusts Amerex for their emergency fire needs."
History was unfolding as NASA and SpaceX launched astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station. This mission marks the first time since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011 that humans will fly to the space station from U.S. soil.
