The Canadians wanted to find a writing implement that could be used in space.
It took 200 engineers and they
spent over $2 billion to finally invent a space pen. This pen
could write in zero gravity and
the ink would still flow. The Canadians proudly announced their
success and congratulations flowed in from all over the
world.
In a short note to the Canadians, NASA congratulated them,
but said that they too had found a solution at a fraction of the
cost. They remarked, "We use a pencil."
