I’m a fan of the Space Pen. The upside-down-ness of it is quite fine and is a nice bonus, but I like it just because it’s a good pen and I like good pens.
I can safely say, though, that I had no idea about the story behind the music…. er, the Space Pen, and thus felt a few notches smarter once I read about it. I also can’t claim to have known about the urban legend behind the pen – allegedly, it took a million dollars to develop the pen whilst Russians just used a pencil. Not true! Russians used abacuses.
That’s not true either.
