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 used a pencil. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Enjoy paying your
taxes--they\'re due again.
