Fisher Space Pen celebrates 50 years in space with Apollo 7 pen set

"Fifty years ago, I flew with the first flown Space Pen on Apollo 7. I relied on it then, and it's still the only pen I rely on here on Earth," states Walt Cunningham as reproduced on a small plaque that accompanies a new commemorative edition of the original pen.

Fisher Space Pen Company has launched the "Apollo 7 50th Anniversary Gold Titanium Astronaut Space Pen" in celebration of the first Apollo crewed mission and the first use of its writing instrument in space.
