I started using a SpacePen when I was in the Arctic and had to write out log entries... Worked 100% of the time! Later when flying light aircraft that are unpressurized I used them to avoid the exploding pen issue that is common for pilots. Yes, a pencil would work, but in my experience the SpacePen is worth the $$$.

[@StrawberryKitten]

You have never been to the "arctic"

[@CactusCycles]

@@StrawberryKitten Your assumption is incorrect. I have done 5 deployments north of the Arctic circle. 4 of the 5 were in the winter... The Antarctic though I have not yet been.

[@Ray_Vun]

a pencil could work but there's higher risk of losing that information since it's much more easy to erase

[@NecramoniumVideo]

The reason why the space pen works so well, is because the inkt cartridge is pressurized. And upside down is usually when the pen stops working after its like half empty. And if you bought the full metallic version of the space pen, it would have endured just fine in the oven.

[@xhronazxs7412]

I was just about to explain why this works aswell, I got done watching how it's made....

[@l0sts0ul89]

Does the metallic version work half ink left?

[@acfiv1421]

Supposedly NASA commissioned the development of a pen that would work in zero-G by pressurizing the cartridge as you said. I used to have one. If pressure was insufficient you could open it up and pump it a couple of times which was enough to last for weeks - didn't need much. Anyway, NASA supposedly gave $3 million to Papermate for its development ($3 milion was a lot of money back then). The Russians simply gave their cosmonauts pencils. Who was smarter?

It's meant to be durable enough that it will never explode in your pocket due to heat, that is the point of the 250 degree resistance. Basically it's so you have a pen that you can trust will work every time you need it in any condition that hasn't killed you yet.

Exactly, the downward angle is enough to kill most pens, upside down is just the furthest extreme.

That's basically how whiteboard pens stop working. You hold em with the tip higher than the body and the ink runs down, away from the tip. And then it stops writing.

[@jeremypike9153]

Many times I use a wall or the side of a 2 post lift to write something down and it actually is an issue with most cheap pens.

yeah, i feel like the upside down thing is probably a good test for the 0 gravity claim, as that's the closest you'd get to testing 0 gravity without being in one of those 0 gravity tunnels. but a pen that can write up against something, like a wall, is super convenient. most pens can get like half a word out before they start failing

Why are pilots risking their careers by admitting there is no earth curve? Over 44 NASA, Government and military documents assume earth is flat and non-rotating. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says outerspace is fake; you can't have gas pressure next to a vacuum. You can collect $200,000 if you prove earth spin or curve. No one has ever proved this because there is no curve. Emergency flight paths make no sense on a globe and make perfect sense on a flat earth. NASA uses green screens and CGI to fool people into their spinning-ball religion. NASA has air bubbles in their "outerspace" videos because it's filmed underwater to fake weightlessness. Astronauts use wires and harnesses to fake weightlessness so people believe in the "outerspace" religion. Every picture of "outerspace" is a fake cartoon image that NASA admits is fake.

Can confirm. Food restaurant here and gel pens can have a short lifespan when they meet greasy paper. Space pen works in the freezer with no fade, and writes for a long time.

The secret, or at least one of them, is that the refill in the pen is pressurized. That accounts at least for the upside down writing and the zero gravity writing. Of course, the last one is why the space pen was really developed; ballpoints don't work well without gravity. You can buy the space pen refiills to fit many pen bodies, by the way.

i googled freezing point of ink in ink pens out of curiosity and this is what i got: Many types of pen ink will freeze at temperatures below 32°F (0°C), which is the freezing point of water. However, some inks, particularly those used in fountain pens, may have a lower freezing point, and may freeze at temperatures as high as 20°F (-6°C) or even lower

[@klauskarlkraus]

Yes because they use alcohol based ink

[@CrazySharp]

Working inside a gun system on a ship in the military writing down electronic test point numbers for trouble shooting on your back … that’s why I always had a space pen

[@bespokearms]

Some context on the freeze test. My dad was a police officer in the late 70's and early 80's in Iowa and always worked the graveyard shift. This means that during winter it is always the coldest time. He used these pens since writing with a Bic when it is -20 F outside sucked. The pens would stop working or not write well enough. What ended up happening is those pens would sit on the dash right on the heat vent for the front windshield. This allowed them to thaw out to be used until they had to be cycled out. A better test is a walk in freezer set to below zero with two layers of normal paper and a carbon paper liner.

[@miketully9905]

I'm a retired engineer, and I used to have to write upside down all the time. It was very common that I'd have to lie on a dolly, on my back, slide under one of our machines, and take measurements. I'd usually have a common yellow pad of paper, and my trusty Fisher AG-7 Space Pen (the O.G. "space pen" carried by all astronauts since the Apollo program). Now anyone who's had to lie on a dolly will tell you what a pain in the neck it is to roll over onto your belly so that you don't have to write upside down, which is why I bought a "space pen" in the first place. (It also works really well with a pad of paper pressed against a wall, another situation where most pens fail). At work I never had to write under water, but I often had to write on things soaked with a fine spray of water droplets due to the humidity of the air condensing into water inside pressurized air lines, and not having a particularly effective means of removing the water from the pressurized air in our cheap a$$ed compressor direct to airline system. So after blowing metal chips off something with an air hose, I often had to write on something covered in a fine spray of tiny water droplets. What a space pen will NOT DO is write under about 10 feet or more of water. The ink cartridges of the Space Pen are only pressurized to around 35psig so once the additional water pressure starts to get anywhere near about half that pressure it starts to skip and quickly stops working. So the Space Pen is NOT a good diver's pen. Lastly DON'T buy a cheap knock-off copy of the Space Pen. I've never found one that works. Buy your Space Pen from Fisher Pens, they work. And although the AG-7 is the pen NASA buys, there's also the Fisher "Space Pen Bullet" which is an arguably better looking pen with an arguably better balance. The only problem with the Space Pen Bullet is that it doesn't have a pocket clip so that it will roll right off anything other than a perfectly flat surface. But the Bullet is imo a more comfortable pen to write with if you're going to be writing for several hours at a time, but what constitutes "comfortable", or not, varies greatly form person to person, so your millage may vary. So I'd say that the Space Pen Bullet is more of a writer's pen, where the Space Pen AG-7 is more of a practical day to day sort of pen. I own both.

I've seen multiple people test the grease claim by greasing up a piece of paper tot he point where it's going to collect in the ballpoint and cause a physical obstruction. I don't think this was their intent when they made the claim, to be honest. I think they literally meant when a piece of paper collects and oily spot on it, which can really give some standard ballpoint pens trouble. I see it all the time in kitchen work where in the process of taking logs or making quick notes, you can transfer oil to the paper, making it greasy and then difficult to write on. Using that definition of writing on a greasy surface, the FSP does just fine.

[@SergeantExtreme]

As an Injection Molding Process Technician who has to fill out tons of paperwork (such as process windows and startup/EOJ paperwork), it's a near daily occurrence for the paperwork to be contaminated with grease or hydraulic fluid. When it comes to writing on contaminated paper (but especially when it's oil that has soaked INTO the paper such as WD-40 or hydraulic fluid), I've found that Space Pens write best in these conditions. Too many times, regular ball point pens stop writing when they get to oil soaked into the paper. And even worse, the ink of standard pens tends to break down if you spill oil (or other solvents) on the paper. I've found space pen ink to be quite chemical resistant. And the final icing on the cake when it comes to space pens: they are proudly made in the USA (including the refill cartridge). In fact, Fischer is the last remaining ball point pen manufacturer left here in the USA. That makes Fischer the only choice for me.

Anyway, as for me, it did all the test the same or a little better than the competitors, so it’s actually a reliable option. Personally I have one, not with the classic original casing, and I’m pretty happy with it. Despite I don’t have to do much writing usually, I know I can rely on it when I need it.

The brass thread to get to refill can sieze and can get corroded. The lid is secured on with an o ring. If I remember correctly a much cheaper Parker refill will fit if you remove the plastic cam. My dad had the posher clicky retractable one with a button on the side, the mechanism jammed. Mine also had trouble with oily paper. I have the all chrome one, the black and chrome one. And I might still have but I've not seen it in a while gold and black one ,my first one might have been stolen in 1991-2. Fountain pen explosion was a surprise, would have expected it to leak .

I bought one when I was child. Leave it in its packaging, never used. The packaging claimed the ink would last 100 years without drying out. I found that interesting so I bought it and planned to leave it unused for the duration of my life or most of it at least. I still have it close to 40ish years later. Long term testing.

The love hammer was one of the best purchases I've made.

[@dionsmith5783]

The fact he actually laid down is funny as hell 🤣🤣 like you could’ve just held the pen an pad upside down 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣

[@gamefreak22574]

The reason it still messed up in the oven is because ovens do not hold a steady temperature, most ovens fluctuate about 60 degrees when using the on/off cycle to maintain an average temperature. So even though you set the oven to 245 it was most likely reaching peak Temps of almost 300 depending on its age and model.

Construction when working on a ceiling, I write upside down. But I just use a pencil. It also writes under water and when frozen or really hot. Pencils are also really cheap.

[@timholstein1339]

I’ve had one since 2000. Love it.

[@korbansdad]

I’ve been using the fisher space pen since 2009 still have the original pen I just buy the refill cartridge. It’s nothing fancy but in my line of work the pen does everything I need it to.

[@TheSnatchbuckler]

I carry a space pen every day. Not the click style though. Super compact, writes anywhere, easy to carry. Well worth it.

5:00.. absoutly true.. I used to work with semis and washbay.. my god…

[@BenjaminGoude]

I personally love the Pilot Metropolitan. But fountain pen ink typically spreads like crazy with the slightest amount of water.

[@hunterhicks6726]

Have you tried noodler’s bad black moccasin? That’s what I use and I’ve never had any problem’s with water. I’ve found that noodler’s are typically pretty water resistant.

[@AverageReviewsYT]

So hear me out.. the Amazon basics with a fine tip.. smoothhh but my metro yeah.. nice..

[@BenjaminGoude]

@@AverageReviewsYT I have a bunch of others, but my go to is a Metropolitan with a blunt nip. Perfect and smooth script writing.

[@AverageReviewsYT]

@@BenjaminGoude I do like the kind he has due to cheap and I can’t get them to dry out lol.. but the metro is a dream.. but the fine amazon is Absolutly worth the $10 and way more.

Easier to wash out of your shirt when it leaks through your pocket?

[@1999Valkyrie]

Fountain pens are essentially gravity-fed, and their feeds use capillary action, so they'll continue to write a short time if inverted. And the ink is water-based, meaning it can freeze. This limits how and where they'll write. The Fisher space pen was developed by NASA for the Apollo Space Mission.

[@Neon_Koopa]

I don’t know how I watched 20 minutes of Tyler writing with 3 different pens but I did lol

[@georgemartin7115]

Parker pen with stainless steel case and bronze pen clip is my favourite

[@BarnyDaddy]

Absolutely. I have carried one and used it for 45 years!

[@frankiejdwm_edc1037]

You can buy just the cartridge and put them in whatever pen you have almost. I've got a couple pens with Fisher cartridges and used to have a Fisher Bullet. They write on anything.

[@americansmark]

Shirt answer: yes. I've had mine for a decade and it still works great.

[@shaneh7519]

What does a shirt have to do with a pen?

[@americansmark]

​@@shaneh7519it goes in my shirt pocket. Duh?! 🤣

[@alext6933]

Silly tyler not covering up the pens in the oven.

[@RDTheCajun]

11:52 is a damn Alternative Rock album cover 😂 put it in black and white and call it “Faded”

[@CapnPicard]

Nice pen for a car. Hot/cold etc Delivery drivers would love this pen.

[@bobk2111]

Read somewhere that we spent a ton of money developing the space pen to write in space, during the space race. The other guys used a pencil 😂

[@handymanhoney-do6881]

NASA wanted a pen developed to avoid wood & graphite shavings floating around in spacecraft cabins. Fisher came up with the pressurized cartridge to write in low temperatures and zero gravity. The “bullet” model is convenient for pocket carry. I’ve had one since the late 80’s. Best use is doing food inventories in walk-in refrigerators and freezers where there’s cold, humidity and many greasy materials.

[@SergeantExtreme]

Wrong on both accounts. The pen cost less than $200,000 to develop, and Russia ordered 10,000 of these pens when they were launched on the market.

[@Ann_Inky]

I think grease they are referring to is when you leave a greasy film on the paper from your hand (Lotion, etc..)
