Fisher Space Pen

The Fisher Space Pen is the pen that went to the moon. Again and again. Since Apollo 7 in 1968, The Fisher Space Pen has been NASA's pen. For you, it can help you do crosswords and sudoku lying down.

 

Paul Fisher's Space Pen (also known as the Bullet Pen because of its shape) writes on adverse surfaces such as plastic and laminex , as well as paper. As a Space Pen should, it also works in weightlessness, underwater, upside down and in extreme heat & cold – thanks to its pressurised cartridge. It's ridged barrel also stops your hand slipping.

 

·          Permanent collection MOMA, NYC

·          The pen with its own Seinfeld episode.

 

*Crucial trivia: It's an urban myth that the Americans spent millions developing this and  the Russians used pencils. Truth is, this was developed by Charles Fisher using a spare million dollars he had after inventing the universal pen re-fill. NASA bought them to use in space in 1965 - in one of the world's great product plugs. The Russians followed suit from 1967.
