NASA are full of idiots
When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.
The Russians used a pencil.

Re: NASA are full of idiots
Naaaa..... It is a BS story. Here is the real info where Fisher states they made the pen on their own for less than $1m and that both US and Soviet space programs used pencils until BOTH programs purchased the pens from Fisher in the late 60's.

Re: NASA are full of idiots
3D Kid, its not NASA are full of idiots.....the correct statement is NASA is full of idiots.
I think there are some fart smellers down there. They probably fingered out the English language.
