When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that
ball-point pens would not work in 0 gravity.
To combat this problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion
developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on
almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below
freezing to over 300 C.
The Russians used a pencil.
Enjoy paying your taxes.
