Actually this story is not true.

The company Fisher made the pans at their own expense, and pencils have
NEVER been used. The graphite gets into the electronics and shorts them out.

So NASA isn't as dumb as you may think.

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out 
that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity. (Ink won't flow down to writing

surface) In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting.

It took them one decade and 12 million dollars. They developed a pen that 
worked at zero gravity, upside down, under water, in practically any 
surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing

to over 300 degrees C. 
 
The Russians used a pencil...
