During the last days of the space race in the 1960’s the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its’ space capsules.
After considerable research and development, the Astronaut pen was produced at a cost of approximately $1 million U.S. dollars. The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on Earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil.   |
