No wonder the world thinks we're stupid.

When NASA first started sending astronauts into space, they quickly discovered that ball-point pens would not work in zero gravity.

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






The Russians used a pencil.

but on what is right." ~ Ivan Howes
