This amazing pen that cost over $2 Million to develop, comes in a stylish black presentation box, making it an ideal executive gift. The secret behind the Fisher Space Pen lies in the unique design characteristics of the ink, and the high precision manufacturing tolerances of the ball-point and socket.

The ink is fed to the ball point by gas pressure, permitting the pen to write in any position. An additional benefit of the closed design is that it keeps the pen from drying out, giving the Fisher Space Pen an estimated 100 year life.

This statement from NASA after Armstrong and Aldrin returned from the Moon illustrates the vital role the pen plays in U.S. Space Shuttle missions.

If it hadn't been for the Fisher Space Pen, the astronauts might still be up there on the moon. A life support back pack bumped against an arming switch which was to have activated the jet engines to take them up to the Apollo above. Ground control knew that the astronauts had dispensed with their tools earlier, to save on weight, so they instructed Aldrin to retract the nib of his Fisher Space Pen and use the hollow end to flip the broken switch. The engines ignited and allowed them a safe return to the Apollo and on back home to earth.

Here are the results of different pens writing on wet paper, just to give you a taster of the Bullet Space Pen's superior characteristics:

This pen is class. Also if I go to visit my acre of moon that I bought from you as well, I can use it to write to my friend back on earth as it works in zero gravity.
Damian Cross, Chester
I carry mine everywhere, it`s never let me down.
Edward, Bracknell
Because of my loyalty to the wonderful Fisher Space Pens, there are 3 or 4 other humans who are enjoying the ones I have lost! I always keep one in my pocket, but have been known to exile it while pulling out my keys or wallet. I only hope Frere Fisher sees fit to add a blinking red light to my next batch...
Jed Pauker - The Colonies
Works well; however a normal pen WILL work on the moon as there is gravity there - sorry Damian....
Karl - Newark
Fantastic pen! I have bought lots of these as presents for friends or corporate gifts for work or clubs. They never fail to impress and are attractively boxed. I'm about to buy 3 more!
Dave Smith
this is probably wrong but instead of spending 2 million why didn't they just use a pencil? Looks pretty cool though
Nathan - Sussex
Got this for my dad 2 years ago as a novelty, just in case he wanted a career change. He loves it and has been going on for the last 6 months about me getting him another one even though it hasn't run out yet!
Becky - London
Great pens - very handy to carry in your pocket. You can't use a pencil in zero gravity for risk of broken graphite (lead) pieces floating around and injuring someone.
