8:30 NASA's Pen Story.

The story says that NASA spent a decade and $12 billion to build a ballpoint pen that works without gravity. By 1965, scientist found a way to create such pen with a pressurized ink cartridge and compressed nitrogen.

The Russians simply solved this problem by using a pencil.
The takeaway is not to over-complicate things, and to look for what's obvious.

9:30 Unfortunately, the story is not true.

The people at NASA are not that dumb. They where fully aware of the pencil as an alternative.

It turns out that pencils are dangerously flammable in space. If the tip breaks and gets lost in the spaceship it can cause serious problems.

Paul C. Fisher developed the zero gravity pen which was approved by NASA and used in space. Fisher now sells his very expensive pens online.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
