Default The Fisher AG-7 "Anti-Gravity" Space Pen !


An article in Scientific American does some myth-busting.



Fact or Fiction?: NASA Spent Millions to Develop a Pen that
Would Write in Space, whereas the Soviet Cosmonauts
Used a Pencil

"The problem of weightless writing was not solved by either
Soviet central planning or good old American sub-contracting,
but by a private investor and a good idea"
