A funny explanation I heard as a child was that pens don't work upside down, therefore wouldn't work in space... :mrgreen:

It doesn't work upside down because of gravity working against it, there being no gravity in space, unless you're under acceleration, it will work, as mentioned.

Exactly why it was funny to me - even as a child. :mrgreen:

Maybe that kind of backwards logic is attributable to too much sniffing of ink - perhaps pens should have a Surgeon's General warning! :lol:
