@sildenafiltartrate So did the US. But graphite dust posed a substantial risk to electronics in a zero gravity environment so the space pen was invented. Shortly after, the Russians adopted a space pen as well.

@sildenafiltartrate then lead dust from the pencils got stick into electronics and russian spacecraft crashed.

@keiweak it was built for testing the aerial bombs and to the end of the war it was rebuilt because americans were expecting heavy fortifications in Japan. but Japans did not have any so the gun has never been used in combat.

This was a mortar, not a howitzer.

.....at the height of the space war between the usa and ussr, there was a problem of writing in weightless space. NASA, MIT, and Stanford pumped in millions of dollars and years, to try and invent a pen wth ink that would work smoothly even in zero gravity space........the russians just used pencils.....
