The wonders of unnecessary science......hahah

[05BlackS2000]

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



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



The Russians used a pencil.



Enjoy your taxes.

ouch!

[ford99ranger]

my friend has one of those pens

[Rockafella]

you can get the zero gravity fed pens like anywhere now-a-days. Kinda like how expensive the first laser pointer was and now you can get them in your mouse's and keychains on the cheap for work presentations.

I have a black bullet and it is honestly the best writing pen i have ever had.

It takes 100 years to dry out just sitting out.
