When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered
that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the
problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a
pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost
any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below
freezing to 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil.

American scientists are scientists from Russia/World with money  ;D

1) this pen has been around for like 10 years...why are you talking about it now?

2) theres no way the us would be stupid enough to spend that amount of money on something as dumb as a pen...we're far too busy spending it all on weapons we dont need.

3) "on almost any surface including glass"...if you get a pen that costs more than 4.99 it will write on glass...no big thing there.

So, you refuse to admit you're wrong, and everything you've posted amounts to nothing more than the ramblings of a complete idiot? How does it feel to know, that your entire existance, at least in this post, is wrong.  LOL
