The point stands however, because I don't know what that guy Fisher was thinking. Assuming he spent that 1 000 000$ and managed to sell 400 to NASA for 2,95$ each doesn't that leave him minus 998 820$? He might have sold more of those but at 2,95 doesn't that mean he needed to sell about 338 983 pens, now he sold 400, so that leaves 338 583 to just compensate for what he has spent.
I used to own a Fisher space pen. There were lots of ads for them in the space magazines, and I'm sure I'm not the only space nut who bought one. ("Use the same pen that the astronauts used!") Better than Tang, for sure.
