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

Ya know what they say Susan, build a better mouse trap and the world will beat a path to your door. By the way, the Soviets also built MIR, not exactly your "Cadillac" of space craft. :)
overall, though, a good observation, but no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!!! (MP)

But, my dear, the pen(is) mightier than the pencil.
Besides, I found an underwater pen certainly useful when I wrote my memoirs sitting at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle in 1997. Try *that* with a pencil and see what you get.
MEOW!kaZoo

I have known this for a long time.
They watch you and gather info to an alien race that was here in early Eyptian time.Who du u think is responsible for the crop circles? First I thought it were them naughty nano probes from the mothership , but it's pussycats of course.
