I first watched The Pen back in the 1990s when I became a fan of Seinfeld, and I was very curious about the astronaut pen, and I wanted to get one as soon as possible! I remember a comedian cracking a line that why would you spend millions on an astronaut pen, you can use a pencil (the audience guffaws big time). But what the comedian failed to recognize is that pencils aren't great for astronauts because if a pencil led breaks, it can (even though it's minute) float and cause damage to the interior so that's why astronaut pens are safer and more effective init.
To this day I still don't have an astronaut pen.
