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.
