Simplicity


During the space race back in the 1960’s, NASA was faced with a major problem. The astronaut needed a pen that would write in the vacuum of space. But how an astronaut could use a pen to write in zero gravity? So the NASA went to work. At a cost of USD$ 1.5 million they developed a gravity-immune ballpoint pen, call “Astronaut Pen”.

The Russians were faced with the same dilemma. But the Soviets solved the same problem by simply using “Pencil”.

Sometime, we see things too complicated. Try to simplify our mind and maybe will works better... who knows :)

What a cute story. I love it. Love the water color painting too. Geesh, I really miss the Malaysia "Kampung" water painting! That 's something we can't see around here.
