    When usa launched a mission in space, their pen didn’t write in zero gravity. So they spent $12 million and 10years to find a pen that would write in zero gravity.
    And do you know what Russia did?

    They used a pencil!!!

    The Space Pen (also known as the Zero Gravity Pen), marketed by Fisher Space Pen Co., is a pen that uses pressurised ink cartridges and is claimed to write in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, over wet and greasy paper, at any angle, and in extreme temperature ranges.

    NASA never approached Paul Fisher to develop a pen, nor did Fisher receive any government funding for the pen's development. Fisher invented it independently, and then asked NASA to try it. After the introduction of the AG7 Space Pen, both the American and Soviet (later Russian) space agencies adopted it. Previously both the Russian and American astronauts used grease pencils and plastic slates.[citation needed][3]
