The Astronaut Pen
During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, NASA 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 $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.

Yeah but they were probably breathing lead dust for the duration of the trip! Who wrote this?
Got any more information about this? Add to the story.
