Ball Point Pen
« on: January 23, 2017, 09:34:40 AM »
When NASA started sending astronauts into space, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.

To combat this problem, Congress approved a program.  NASA scientists spent $165 million over a decade  developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface and at any temperature.


The Russians used a pencil . . .

Your taxes are due again in April.

Just one point, lead pencils are conductive. You would not want carbon floating around in a space ship. The Russians can keep the stone wheel to for transportation too if they like to also.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

Being an electrician I have been shocked a lot.
The problem is when I get shocked it only brings me back to sanity every other time I get shocked. Never sure we're I am at in the cycle.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.
