12th's Fun Fact
|
| During the heat 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
developed at a cost of about $1 million U.S. 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. |
