When NASA started the launch of the astronauts, they found that pens didn't
work in zero gravity. To resolve this problem, they contracted Anderson's
Consulting (today known as Accenture).
This company spent 1 decade and 12 million dollars developing a pen that
would write in zero gravity, upside down and could be used under water, on
practically any surface, including crystal, and in different temperatures,
from 0 to more than 300 Celsius...
The Russians used a pencil.
