It turns out that the popular tale about the US investing millions on a pen that would write in zero gravity while the Soviets just handed their cosmonauts pencils is another urban myth.
Darn. It was a good story. (I admit that I bought it, too.)
Although I must admit, the part about the $130.00 mechanical pencils is still amusing. My last one cost 40 US cents.
I am curious: Did anyone else accept this as truth the first time they heard/read it?

I never really thought about it that much. I don’t know if that counts as falling for it. There seems to be no intermediate choices on your poll. It was a good story though.
