SPACE MYTHS:
The Fisher Space Pen did NOT cost NASA millions of dollars to develop.
It cost them $0. FISHER put in the R&D money on that.
NASA only bought the pens as off-the-shelf products. They are nice pens.
And while the Russians DID "use pencils", they didn't really like them, and adopted the pens.
See, inhaling graphite dust and wood shavings in freefall is not that healthy.
There are a LOT of stories about "government waste" that are basically just bullshit, like this one. Be aware.
An ancient Rosicrucian adage says, “It is from ignorance and ignorance alone that humans must free themselves.” Ignorance is at the origin of the worst things a person can do to oneself, to others, and to one’s environment. It is also the source of different superstitions that demean humanity and prevent it from finding complete fulfillment. Therefore give a spiritual direction to your life. Do not just be a living thing, be a living soul." Rosicrucian Manuscript

I heard today::
"You will regret your life without me, I made you!!"
I instantly thought
>> If you made me, why would I be capable of regretting it?
>> If I lived a life without you, why would I need you other than what conveniences came out of it that I can define fine elsewhere, given chance?
>> My biggest regret would be knowing you for trying to put the hammer on me for trying being independent without you.
