In the early years of space flight, both...
In the early years of space flight, both Russians and Americans used pencils in space. Unfortunately, pencil lead is made of graphite, a highly conductive material. Snapped graphite leads and particles in zero gravity are hugely problematic, as they will get sucked into the air ventilation or electronic equipment, easily causing shorts or fires in the pure oxygen environment of a capsule.
After the fire in Apollo 1 which killed all the astronauts on board, NASA required a writing instrument that wasn’t a fire hazard. Fisher spent over a million dollars (of his own money) creating a pressurized ball point pen, which NASA bought at $2.95 each. The Russian space program also switched over from pencils shortly after.
40 years later snide morons on the internet still snigger about it, because snide morons on the internet never know what they are talking about.
I salute you.

Costume Swap
I was wondering...
I was wondering where Mulan was but it wouldn’t be much since she basically does the costume swap in the movie ..
Do you run a Shadow and Bone/ Grisha Trilogy blog or fan site?
I want to know!
(Too much? I can’t live without passion.)
Respond here or send me a link in the ask box so that I can list you on my web site and keep you in the loop for future treats and schemes.
Treats and schemes!

I mean, I want a Wonder Woman movie, too, but I really want a Storm movie. I’m tired of Wolverine. Storm is so much cooler. Let’s get her origin story.
EFF TO THE YES. But… I’ve never loved Halle Berry in the role. Let’s fancast!

Before someone comments that I used the photo usually used for Zoya, this set began as a general Etherealki set then I realized everyone was wearing blue + gold. So.

oh my god Nightvale.
Jeez, Night Vale.
Damn.
So…does that make depression a condition where you get assigned to mourn a lot? Like your brain is wired for the mourning? ._.
I like this canon. Some people are just chosen as superb mourners. And sometimes, there’s just so many people who die in a short time that no one misses and that send you into your low times but then there are periods with less deaths or at least few enough to spread it around and you can have some better days.
Wo.
Hi first of all i'm sure I've said this before but really randomly can i just say how cool it is that my favorite author also loves legend of korra!! wierd i now but it made me so happy cuz hardly anyone knows it !! :D
(And I feel like the Korra fandom is mighty and powerful—also, frequently adorable. They’re out there!)
