There's a few moments in our history where everyone remembers where they were, what they were doing, and who they were with. July 20, 1969 is one of those moments. Our webmaster remembers he was a counselor at a summer camp and when they had all the kids to bed and sleeping, they left the cook in charge and went into the neighboring town to gather around a black and white television in a beer tavern. Known to close like clockwork each evening, on this night the barkeep shut off the "open" sign and everyone stayed late into the morning hours experiencing the first man on the moon! Where were you on that famous evening?
In 1967, after over two years of rigorous testing by
NASA, the Space Pen was selected for use by the astronauts of Apollo 7 and has
been used on all manned space flights since. The overall design of the Original
Astronaut Pen has not changed in over 50 years, and the pen that you buy today,
except for several minor aesthetic changes, is nearly identical to the one
taken to the moon in 1969.
All Astronaut Pens are proudly produced in the USA!
Each is made of solid brass with hard chrome plating, giving it a solid feel in
your hand as you write. They also feature a unique clicking mechanism that
extends the point via the button on the top, with a release button on the side
to retract it. This side button has a substantial sound and feel to it,
ensuring that you will always remember to retract the point before sliding the
pen back into your pocket.
Astronaut
Pens have been used on all NASA Apollo and Space Shuttle missions, the
International Space Station, Russian Soyuz and MIR space flights, the French
ARIANE Space Program, and the Everest North Face Ski Expedition. They are packaged in our heavy-duty gift box
with flock lining, and each comes with a guarantee and a pamphlet describing
the history of Fisher Space Pen Co.
