I mean people still spout the easily researchable lie that nasa spent millions developing a space pen and the Russian just used a pencil.
Once a lie has reached critical mass it's incredibly difficult to correct.
For anyone just finding out the NASA space pen thing was a lie we did use a pen, but so did Russia and we everyone else. The pen did not cost millions for us to make or develop. You can buy one right now for like 20 bucks. They simply pressurize the ink cartridges with a little bit of nitrogen so the ink is forced out no matter the orientation. You just cannot have graphite dust floating around a bunch of sensitive electronics from the 70s.

Is this the one you can hammer through a baseball and still write with?
-
I have no idea. That sounds like a very specific stress test... Not sure when I would need a pen to be able to survive getting hammered through a baseball lol.

Truthfully I don't even know what to say. What is this from? Haha

It doesn't matter Bob. We'll be dead in 5 years.

It's a terrible movie called Real Men. Just awful, don't bother watching it.

if it can go through a baseball, it can go through... well I won't say. Just know that if it can go thorugh a baseball, that there pen is a self defense pen, and you can take it on a plane with you. "Welcome to Murica."

Development costs in that era vs. availability now don't equate. I don't remember the exact number, but the actual research & development of the zero-g pen did have a significant price tag.
-
NASA didn't develop the pen at all. Fisher did. They just bought the pens from. Wiki says they bought the pens for less than 3 bucks a pop back then. Adjusted for inflation the pens are actually a couple bucks cheaper today than they were back then lol.
While a million bucks in the 60s wasn't exactly cheap it certainly wasn't some astronomical amount by any means. Certainly not when compared to what we actually spent getting the ISS built and sent up to space.

The space pen is great. They sell a small one that I used to carry in my pocket.

-
The point of the story is that Russia also used the same pen. It's nothing to do with the cost.

in a 100% oxygen atmosphere, too.

lie that nasa spent millions developing a space pen and the Russian just used a pencil.
I'm like 99% sure that "lie" is in reality not a "lie," but rather what is known in some circles as a "joke." Like, "A horse walks into a bar, the bartender asks 'why the long face?'" Isn't a "common lie" just because it's oft repeated and not factual, it's a joke.
-
Every single time I have heard someone repeat it, it was in a "fun fact" way and not in a joking way.
-
Everytime I've heard it, it was told as a joke. Company you keep I guess?
-
-
Perhaps it's started that way, but I have had countless people bring it up over the years in a "here's this cool fact I learned that shows Americans are stupid and Russians are smarter" kind of way.
-
Everytime I've heard it, the "pencil" line is in punchline cadence and they pause for laughter with a big smile like "haha isn't this the best joke ever?" Guess we just know different folks.
