what a waste
Zero Gravity
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, on almost any surface
including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to over
300 C.
The Russians just used a pencil.
Your taxes are due again -- enjoy paying them.

Re: what a waste
This is "the pen" from the seinfeld episode.
And it was developed b/c broken pencils floating around could injure astronauts.
