Um, you missed it again, Joe. You posted yet another version of the myth.

The facts (as may be seen farther down on the page I gave you) are that Paul Fisher spent about $1M to develop the famous Fisher Space Pen. "We" (NASA) spent NOTHING on the development of that pen. Later, Fisher sold 400 pens to NASA for $2.95 each. Also, it should be mentioned that Fisher made a great profit on his investment selling the pens to the public.
