When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ball
point 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 300C.
The Russians used a pencil.
