Hurry Get those taxes out...

Zero gravity research


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 two years and $6 million developing a pen
that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface
including glass and at temperatures that ranged from below freezing to
over 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil.

Enjoy paying your taxes ..... they're due again.

The only thing about the russian space program that we can learn from them is there common sense and there ability to do maintenance. No wonder there able to keep those hunks of junk up in space for so long.

Either our astronauts learn maintenance or get some enlisted or warrant officer astronauts to do maintenance. I'd like to see a Gunnery Sgt. or a CPO in space. Only problem is that the CPO will take a couple hours to fit into his suit! LOL
