BTW, these pens are available as Fisher Space Pens (Pressurized Ball Ponit). Some bloke (or perhaps one who has bought his name) named Paul C Fisher makes them in Boulder City, Nevada. But they are not good. Now that this email came in I should perhaps return the refills that I bought. I tried them for my ball point drawings and had to quickly switch back. The reason I went with them in the first place was because they were selling unusual colors -- brown, purple, etc. The USP says: This is the same pressurized refill that was Invented (yes the I is capitalized) by Paul Fisher for NASA. It's used by both the American Astronauts and Russian Cosmonauts on all manned space flights, because it writes in the freezing cold (-50 degrees F), boiling heat (+250 degrees F) vacuum of Outer Space.
