Hi American people.
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity.


To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over 300° C.









The Russians used a pencil.

Enjoy paying your taxes.

Re: Hi American people.
Actually you're all wrong.

NewScientist (my version of the bible) told me last week that Cosmonauts just use ordinary BiCS and always have.

Thank you for your time.

I tried writing with a stealth bomber once. It didn't go too bad, but the thing wouldn't fit into my pocket.

They may be "nice" for work but they also tell people that you are a homosexual.

Re: Hi American people.
This is a myth. A private company developed the pen, NASA just adopted its use.

Pencils were not used because of the potential hazard of the broken graphite.
