Are you sure it's not sexist?

I must have forgotten your post but I had made another post about government waste and that interview was one I had seen but forgot where until I ran across it again. I think I may be suffering from news overload. ヽ(ヅ)ノ

Got this one this am:

When NASA started sending astronauts into space they quickly discovered
that ball-point would not work in zero gravity.

To combat this problem, Congress approved a program and NASA scientists
spent a decade and over $165 million developing a pen that writes in
zero gravity, upside down, on almost any surface and at temperatures
ranging from below freezing to over 300 C.

The Russians used a pencil...

Your taxes are due again in April, 2017.

NASA never asked Paul C. Fisher to produce a pen. When the astronauts
began to fly, like the Russians, they used pencils, but the leads
sometimes broke and became a hazard by floating in the [capsule's]
atmosphere where there was no gravity. They could float into an eye or
nose or cause a short in an electrical device. In addition, both the
lead and the wood of the pencil could burn rapidly in the pure oxygen
atmosphere. Paul Fisher realized the astronauts needed a safer and
more dependable writing instrument, so in July 1965 he developed the
pressurized ball pen, with its ink enclosed in a sealed, pressurized
ink cartridge.

Fisher sent the first samples to Dr. Robert Gilruth, Director of the
Houston Space Center. The pens were all metal except for the ink,
which had a flash point above 200°C. The sample Space Pens were
thoroughly tested by NASA. They passed all the tests and have been
used ever since on all manned space flights, American and Russian. All
research and development costs were paid by Paul Fisher. No
development costs have ever been charged to the government. Because of
the fire in Apollo 1, in which three Astronauts died, NASA required a
writing instrument that would not burn in a 100% oxygen atmosphere. It
also had to work in the extreme conditions of outer space:...

Just a few seconds with Google can avoid the embarrassment
(assuming you care). Government workers are just like any other
workers. They go to work and try to do their jobs just like everyone
else. Sometimes they make mistakes, sometimes not. I suspect the
folks at NASA are pretty damn smart and make a whole lot less
mistakes than most. Show a little respect.
