RE: Floating Nuclear Power Plants: Is this the future of power generation?
Damned Ruskies have done it again.
Nasa spends hundreds of thousand of dollars developing pens that write in space; the Russians use...pencils.
To be fair, apparently the graphite shavings from a pencil can cause people harm because they float around in 0 gravity. It's more a case that soviet Russia didn't take health and safety as much.
I seem to remember peanut butter causing some serious problems in The Reluctant Astronaut too but I don't think they stopped using it. Sarcasm
