Space Pen
How to make a Space Pen better? Make it look like a space ship. That’s
just what Fisher has done with this new version of its famed,
pressurized, write-anywhere pen, the Contractor Tool Space Pen.Along the way, Fisher threw in a few extra functions: spirit levels,
angle and length measurements (metric and imperial) and a magnetic base.
The actual pen can be removed from the ABS plastic case, and it’ll
still write upside-down, underwater, or, of course, in space. Yours for
$25. Or just add a few nicks along the edge of a pencil for a Russian versionMoss noted a fascination with "functional overkill" -- objects whose
capabilities are rarely, if ever, needed. "The Fisher space pen was
designed for NASA specifically so it can be used in a gravity-free zone.
It's our biggest-selling item," he says. "We sell thousands every
year."But Moss noted a counter-trend -- the tendency of some
designers to eliminate function entirely. To illustrate this he showed
the Internal Rolex watch -- a timepiece inside a gold band. "A Rolex
isn't really about telling time," he says. "It's about prestige.".
