Depending on how well youâve kept up with fire extinguisher maintenance, your portable fire extinguisher should last, essentially, forever. If youâve had the same fire extinguisher for a long time (10-12 years),one way to test its condition ) is to have it hydrostatically tested. A hydrostatic test exposes your fire extinguisher to high pressure (usually 500psi) to check the integrity of the shell.
Jingle Bells was the first song broadcast from space, in a Christmas-themed prank by Gemini 6 astronauts Tom Stafford and Wally Schirra. While in space on December 16, 1965, they sent this report to Mission Control : Gemini VII, this is Gemini VI.
The song is about the launch of Major Tom, a fictional astronaut, and was released during a period of great interest in space flight. The United States' Apollo 11 mission would launch five days later and would become the first manned moon landing another five days after that.
