During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, the U.S.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) decided
it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity
confines of its space capsules.

That's not a joke, it's a real deal. They came up with a solid ink and pressurized the ink cartridge. I have one, it rocks.

Goatboy,

do you know for sure that Halos are made of Lexan? Maybe you could reserch that for us.

Nope, just what I've been told. I sent email to OGI asking them; I'll let you know what their response is.


Hexis: what, so you can write while upside down from the bottom of your bunker? Just kidding. I know of the pen, I just don't know about the validity of the email in general, particularly with the pencil thing.

had to design a vacuum based sharpener i'd assume, so they didn't pollute the airsystem...

Spam is bad in any case. It's just a nice pen. It writes better than any other ball point type pen. I have not tried using it on the paintball field. I suspect it would write well.
