I have a fisher Space Pen somewhere,
I also have some pencils, both work well in space.
Unfortunately the space window for humans is closing quickly
If I want to see decent humans doing real space, I'll watch "The Right Stuff" (which nobody has any longer).
The cost of the Space Station relative to the science it has given is obscene. We could have gained this science at a fraction of the cost with unmanned satellites.
It was really all about public prestige. Bring the personnel home and de-orbit the damn thing over the pacific.
