September 5, 2008: ...and the Russians used a pencil.
Here they are. Those specially-researched, tax-payer-costing, anti-gravity, gas-pressurized writing pens which allowed American astronauts to be able to write in space. They're display at the Air n' Space Museum. in Washington DC.

I have a space pen around here somewhere. I don't like the way it writes.
Griff Friday Sep 5 01:24 PM
The Russians don't have the cinematic capability for a trip to "space."

I gave my astronaut pen to Jack Klompus.
SteveDallas Friday Sep 5 01:28 PM
Didn't the Russkies have trouble with shavings when they had to sharpen the pencils?
Flint Friday Sep 5 01:38 PM
I Googled "snopes space pen" and it said FALSE.
Sheldonrs Friday Sep 5 01:45 PM
Bic deal.

The IoTD isn't false if you take out tax-payer-costing.
Flint Friday Sep 5 01:51 PM
IT SAID FALSE. [/thread]
Shawnee123 Friday Sep 5 01:53 PM
Your face is false.

It said the anecdote about the Russians using a pencil was false. The pressurized pens were real.
And furthermore, who Googles "snopes [anything]?" Just go directly to snopes and search from there. Unless you have the google toolbar--in which case it still only saves you, oh, a half dozen keystrokes.
Flint Friday Sep 5 02:17 PM
It's the same number of steps.
A. Goto Google, search for snopes space pen, click, read.
B. Goto Snopes, search for space pen, click, read.
I prefer using a common search interface over website-based internal searches. Google is often better at finding something within a site than the site's own internal search. And I just don't want to have to go to the page (which isn't in my favorites, Google is, btw) and look for their search function. I go directly to Google and it works the same way every time.

btw, this is coming from Clodfobble, who still manually dials phone numbers. [/Flint never forgets]

I knew there had to be a reason why those were so expensive.
