And there's a good quote about how the russians just used pencils

Yeah, seriously.. just use a pencil. Or a pen with a very low pressure spring inside pushing the ink.

A spring to push a liquid?

I believe it uses a compressed gas to force the ink out. And I'm pretty sure it was developed by a private company for another purpose, using it in space was just a nice bonus.

Dang, beaten to it. It's a funny joke though.

Obviously it would need to be attached to a small, flat piece of material on the side that contacts the ink. I'm not dumb enough to think that ink is a non-viscous solid.

the quote was from west wing. I think Martin Sheen (President) was talking to Richard Schiff's(Toby) character about it.
