The Fisher Space Pen (the AG-7) and its pressurized ink cartridge were developed by Paul Fisher in 1966 his quest for a leak-proof pen. The unique pen’s ability to write in zero gravity made it the choice of NASA, and they enlisted it into their space program. After passing NASA’s testing, the pen first left earth fifty years ago aboard Apollo 7, which went into space on October 11, 1968.

This year, Fisher has a commemorative pen to honor that. The pen, in the company’s Bullet Pen style (model: 400B-50 50th Anniversary Space Pen), is Made in America at their Boulder City, Nevada plant. The pen is claimed to handle extreme temperates better than the average pen as well as being able to write at any angle, including upside down.

The pen’s inventor passed away in 2006 at the age of 93 but his company is still producing pens ready for anything this, or any other planet, can dish out.
