When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint 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 300°C.
@commanderbly009 NASA did not have anything to do with it, it was an independant job done by Fisher, Furthermore, Americans used pencils but due to fires they were not fond with it and the fact that Russia bought 12,000 of these pens is ironic.
@commanderbly009 it's not good to use pencil in space because of the small particles of the lead could float away, inhaled or could do something wrong with the machines in their spaceship.

@Jetgui22 Russians used the pencil because the lead poisoning in their lungs won't kill them before the alcoholic liver failure does...
