8:30 NASA's Pen Story.
The story says that NASA spent a decade and $12 billion to build a ballpoint pen that works without gravity. By 1965, scientist found a way to create such pen with a pressurized ink cartridge and compressed nitrogen.
The Russians simply solved this problem by using a pencil.
The takeaway is not to over-complicate things, and to look for what's obvious.
9:30 Unfortunately, the story is not true.
The people at NASA are not that dumb. They where fully aware of the pencil as an alternative.
It turns out that pencils are dangerously flammable in space. If the tip breaks and gets lost in the spaceship it can cause serious problems.
Paul C. Fisher developed the zero gravity pen which was approved by NASA and used in space. Fisher now sells his very expensive pens online.
