Or... you could just use the stairs,(reply>), No! No stair!,(reply>), Oh but they did use pencils in space, the story is fake but you have it the wrong way round. Nasa didn't develop the Pen used today, but another company did, with their own funds. Nasa just payed for the pens, probably for a couple hundred at most, which is pennies to a space agency. The pencils were a hazard tho, and while it wasn't traditional pencils that where used, (eg. Nasa used mechanical Pencils) They were still a potential hazard.,(reply>), Sorry, I mean that I'd said it was an apocryphal story, meaning that it never happened (technically apocryphal means it probably never happened, but we know this didn't).  Since it didn't happen, the pencil in the story never caused any problems because it never existed. :p,(reply>), Sorry I can't work out what you're saying Hahaha<br>Could you maybe say that more clearly.,(reply>), Daniel Hodgkinson pencils don't either when they are apocryphal pencils, since they don't exist and all...
