When Astronauts met with Russian Cosmonauts, American Astros wanted to know how they solved the problem of ink pens in space? The Russians answered that they used pencils!!!

There are plenty of fine reasons why a pencil _is_ better than a pen. Graphite is archival. It does not fade. It does not disappear under continuous UV radiation. It does not leach into paper and damage the underlying substrate. These seem like good points to mention here. To be fair, I did not watch the video, which perhaps mentions these benefits.

A pencil is a tool of imagination and exploration. A pen is the tool of the iron fist of authority.
