That myth was probably started by some liberal. I understand that the Fisher Pen Company (www.fisherpen.com and http://www.spacepen.com/usa/index2.htm) takes exception to that piece of humor. They are very proud of the fact that they developed the pen that the astronauts used in space and development was done at no cost to the US government. They also point out at http://www.spacepen.com/usa/index2.htm that the US astronauts used pencils before they had the Fisher Space Pen.
