While amusing, this anecdote is false. The early space missions (both American and Russian) used pencils. However pencils are hazardous in micro gravity environments (broken lead can easily cause injury to astronauts and can also short out electronics). The development of the pressurized cartridge pen was done by a private firm (Fisher) who were not contracted to develop the pens. They developed the pens at their own cost and sent them to NASA without being asked. NASA was so impressed with the pens that they proceeded to buy 400 pens (at just under $3 each) for use on future space flights. The Russians also bought the same type of pens for their space program. (posted in

This makes me want to get back into cooking again. I miss it. Between work, classes and social obligations I barely have enough time to shove a few chicken fingers into the oven every now and then. (posted in
