Zero Gravity Pen - Space Ingenuity

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that pens wouldn’t work at zero gravity - ink won’t flow down to the writing surface. In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting (Accenture today). It took them one decade and 12 million dollars to develop a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, under water, in practically any surface including crystal, and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. The Russians used a pencil. see also   Business,  Nationality  &  Space  Sections “2 Pens” Award Program Cheat Sheet Fountain Pen Art Girl’s Pen Knife Pen Computing - Future Technology Now Pen Sale Not Pen Utensils Penmanship Re-pen-tant Employee Freed From Penned-Up Feelings Shakespeare - The Early Years   Candy Hairess Haircut For Staff Meetings Bag Hang-Up Dog Spa Pacman Skeleton Young Rock Star Shoplifter Warning Eavestrough Cat Bobbie Tickle Exhausting or Amewzing?
