This shit is like the US spending millions of dollars to invent a pen that works in outer space while the USSR just used pencils.
That claim has since been debunked and that makes sense, but it doesn’t make it much better when you find out they actually ended spending over $125 per pencil
well acktually you see the reason the pencils cost $125 each is because they have to be manufactured to the tightest tolerances and using the highest quality materials...
It costs like $500 to send something that weights as much as an average pencil to ISS so a $125 high-tech pencil that is two times lighter would still save money.

Thanks to supreme Soviet technology the pencils cost mere pennies
Soviet space pencils are an urban legend. Pencils generate a lot of dust when you sharpen them and write with them, it would be a nightmare in zero G.
Yeah I did say it was debunked but both the US and USSR used pencils in space at some point

The marines having a space program sounds like a terrible idea though
