When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that would write in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 3oo ºC.

I ask me. Who are wrong? My boss? the NASA?.
Sinceresly I thik that my boss. Because, if one day they would open a branch in the Shout or North Pole. How write on the papers? Because the computers don't works under those temperatures.
