Writing in space

NASA discovered that there are times it is most effective to have a writing instrument even in the most "high tech" environment they are in. Unfortunately, ball-point pen and markers just does not work in space because they depend on gravity.

Therefore NASA initiated a project to invent an alternative writing instrument and thus called upon a number of top Scientists and allocated a few million dollars in budget.

After more than a year of hard work, the team of researches finally developed a prototype that sort of work most of the time and made a presentation to report their result. During the presentation, a member in the audience stood up and said: "I thought that the Russians are using pencil for the same purpose?"
