“Houston, do you read?” takes on a whole new meaning with a Fisher Space Pen. This is the only pen on the market that has literally been to space and back. Since 1967, it’s been on every manned mission with both American and Russian astronauts. With a Space Pen, you can write upside down, underwater, in freezing temperatures, in boiling temperatures, over grease, and even in a vacuum (!) with style. Not only is the pen as attractive as an earth-bound model, it has a tungsten-carbide ballpoint which allows you to write for longer, more cleanly, and more consistently. This is because the Space Pen’s ink has been pressurised and filled with thixotropic ink, unlike regular ballpoint pens, which rely on gravity to function. And now, to commemorate Apollo 11’s 50th Anniversary of the moon landing, Fisher have released a very special version of their beautiful Cap-O-Matic Space Pen. Complete with a shimmering chrome cap, this anniversary edition is equipped with the same pressurised cartridge use on the Apollo 11 Mission and lasts for three times loinger than standard ballpoint pens.
