The Hypnotic Process of Handmade Crafting $5000 Fountain Pen

[@Beffudled]

Why the heck did we switch to a long diatribe about space pens?

[@J32-k9n]

Meanwhile the Russians just send people into space with pencils.

Who wrote this? Some miss-informed A.I. Robot?

Seriously seems like it

[@jmccarty3]

Why show ballpoints while talking about fountain pens? This video is seriously confusing to the novice.

[@afrog2666]

Nice try Fischer, but I came for fountain pens, and now you get a dislike for the bait and switch ;)

[@myname1469]

Unfortunate voiceover. The ads however are far worse, interrupting at every turn and requiring the press of a skip button.

[@grahamparr3933]

I have heard a myth that NASA spent tens of thousands of dollars if not more on developing a pen that will work in space, meanwhile the Russians solved the problem with rather less expenditure, they used a pencil.

[@zglg123]

That’s (more or less) true- and the Soviets were blessed with the much more expensive and tricky issue of graphite dust and micro particles in the recirculators and essential equipment- I notice everybody leaves that part out 😂

[@philmcclenaghan7056]

It's not like they didn't think of pencils.. The problem is that graphite is conductive so if it floats into circuitry then you'll short out the whole craft. The Russians just didn't care about health and safety.

[@afrog2666]

@@zglg123 How much writing were they doing to cause so much graphite dust that it actually became an issue? I mean, you would need quite a bit to make it an issue right?

$300... hahaha. You're funny. I wished that's all it cost for a really nice fountain pen.

[@afrog2666]

You can get a pretty nice pen for 300 though, it`s not going to be a Namiki Emperor, but a Sailor or Pilot et cetera. A Kaga' Hira Maki-e for example..

Waterman was not the first to invent the fountain pen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrache_Poenaru

[@magneticchildhoodmemories2997]

Why they not use pencils in space then

[@mrmf4712]

nasa could have given astronauts simple pencils and donate research money of the useless space pen to kids or for build a sports facilities for communities

Who wrote the script for this video? Should be fired. He or she or AI has no logic at all. Wtf

[@richardjonsson1745]

Rubbish.

[@lpanades]

Writing on space, really? What about writing inside a vulcano? Or writing inside a nuclear explosion? This is quite the same shit. But the video in fun anyway.

[@lpanades]

Modern pens don't leak but have not the same performance of old ones. It is simply another type of experience. With a bit of care the fountain pen just do not leak.
