[quote karsen]NASA was around in 1888. Back then they didn't even have adult diapers.
No astronauts attempting murder then!
It would have been called NACA, and they might've invented the NACA Duct.

NACA was the parent of NASA.

A Space Pen is a required implement of the GTD cult.

[quote (CNN)]Nowak told police her relationship with Oefelein was "more than a working relationship and less than a romantic relationship."
Last night Conan O'Brien said that Oefelein regrets the relationship, saying that at the time he was only trying to get a little Tang.

Used them for years.
They are a little small, but I carry that and a moleskine everywhere. Great if you are writer or always jotting down notes.

I use one at work. I write outside several times a day. In these sub-freezing temps (10-20 degrees) it works great!! A little small for my gloved hands, but other pens freeze up.
I use the click-style, so it's a little bigger than the cap type.

I used them decades ago. It seems that eventually, the pressure would cause some of the ink to ooze out and cause a mess. Otherwise, they would write in any orientation.

Use the black ink, fine point refills and you are fine.
The medium points smear sometimes.
I have two of them, and they are great to keep with you, due to the small size.
Used them exclusively when I was working in the ambulance, they write in any position (as noted), temp, or on wet items.
They will even write through blood and urine.

Seriously, what could top that? I've got nothing.
