It was 1962 when, in a speech given at Rice University in Houston, Texas, President John F. Kennedy reaffi rmed our nation's commitment to space exploration by saying, “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade...” The resolve with which he spoke inspired not only government agencies, but private individuals as well to accept the challenge because, as JFK said, “... that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills...” NASA astronauts had been using pencils for note taking, but the graphite used in pencils could break off, fl oat around the cabin and become lodged in electrical switches, jeopardizing their personal safety as well as the mission. Realizing that no existing pen could perform in the zero-gravity vacuum and temperature extremes of outer space, Paul Fisher applied a common sense approach to research and practical experimentation, along with a personal investment of over a million dollars, resulting in the invention of the pressurized Fisher® AG-7 “Anti-Gravity” Space Pen®. NASA offi cials, interested in having a safer and more reliable writing instrument, put the AG-7 through 18 months of rigorous testing subsequently approving it for use on a trial mission in outerspace. By 1968, the Fisher Space Pen was issued to astronauts for all manned space fl ights. It is still in use today

FISHER SPACE PEN CO. LAUNCHES LIMITED EDITION PEN TO COMMEMORATE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF MOON LANDING Collectors Will Own an Actual Piece of Apollo 11 Spacecraft with Unique Display Case Boulder City, NV (July 16, 2009) – As we celebrate the historic moon landing of Apollo 11 on July 20, Fisher Space Pen Co. is making available 1,000 limited edition AG7-40LE Space Pens. The pen is designed as a replica of the historic anti-gravity model pen that was invented by company founder, Paul C. Fisher, in 1966 and flew aboard the Apollo missions. The 40th anniversary pen features a piece of “Kapton” foil, used as protective thermal insulation on the Apollo 11 Command module, Columbia, which carried the astronauts to the moon and back. This rare artifact floats in a water-clear acrylic dome sealed into the pen’s cap. The presentation case tells the historic story of the Apollo 11 mission as well as other monumental moments in human spaceflight. The iconic photo of Neil Armstrong’s first step on the moon is replicated in a resin casting of the footprint inset into the hinged lid. And, an innovative magnetic pedestal allows the pen to sit on its own “launch pad” for display when the lid is closed. The story continues on the sides of the case with a band of plated stainless steel and is engraved with a timeline that tells the moment-by-moment story of the mission’s key events, from launch to splashdown.
