Next time you need to jot a note and it's 50 below (or a stifling hot 400 degrees) just reach for your Fisher Space pen and enjoy the technology that 2 million dollars just gave you. Also, next time you're experiencing 0 Gs, don't feel you have to put off your letter writing until you get back to earth's gravity?that's nonsense. Go ahead and jot your note now before you forget.
These pens are extremely cool, just based on the fact that they can do these things, and are currently used aboard the Space Shuttle. They look good with a sleek bullet design, and contain some of the most advanced writing technology known to man.
Rather than working by gravity, the ink is pushed to the point through gas pressure. Go ahead and write the grocery list while it's on the refrigerator. The pen won't stop writing. The pen won't dry out either, thanks to the sealed manufacturing. One Fisher Space pen has an estimated life span of about 100 years, according to NASA.
the Fisher Space pen may have even saved Buzz Aldrin's life along with the other astronauts on one mission. A switch designed to start the engines that would take them from the moon back to the shuttle got broken. Knowing they had no tools, ground control told Aldrin to use the hollow end of his pens' nib to flip the broken switch, and they all survived.
So the pen's not only space age and incredibly cool, it's been a life saver, too!
