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 million 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 100°C.
The Russians used a grease pencil and a regular pencil for less than one rubel.
No wonder the Russians are still in Space and we are paying them 60 Million per seat, per space lift off..
oddly humorous
