DJR Posted August 2, 2016 Share Reminded me of the space race between the Russians and the Americans, when I was a kid. The Americans spent a gazillion dollars to develop a pen that could write upside down, in space, and today we have the felt tip pen. The Russians simply used a pencil to do the same thing.

Pencil is flammable, and the shavings / graphite could get into the spacecraft's systems, so a pen was a necessity. They both originally used pencils (mechanical ones) but needed a pen to avoid a fire like Apollo 1. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/fact-or-fiction-nasa-spen/ Edited August 2, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Pants Boy, DJR, pista and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere near the end of this clip is a different take on a pencil being used in space... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Mdkh8l8Ys DJR and CyberSakkie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
