NASA and the Zero-Gravity Pen

October 18, 2007 · Filed Under Make Money Online · Comment 

Here is an interesting story, found at Teaching Sells.

Back when NASA started launching manned spacecraft in the 1960s, they found out that the astronauts couldn’t use pens to write with while in space. The ink wouldn’t flow down through the pen in a zero-gravity environment. NASA decided to retain a man named Paul Fisher to design a pen that would work in space.

A mere $1.5 million later, they had a solution. NASA now had a pen that worked in zero gravity, in a vacuum, and in a drastic temperature range.

The Russian cosmonauts had the same problem, of course.

So they used a pencil.

Now, this anecdote isn’t historically accurate, and has become a bit of an urban legend. The truth is both the US and Russia used pencils at first, and Paul Fisher independently created the pen and sold 400 of them to NASA for a song. The reason the exaggerated story is so widely embraced, though, is because it rings true.

We often expend large amounts of time and effort creating elaborate solutions to problems when a simple answer is right under our noses.

How To Make Money Online

How To Make Money Online

Sometimes I wonder how reliable are these so called “make money instantly” books and videos, what is the content of these materials? I have to admit that these so called gurus are really making money, Why? and How? It is like the chicken and egg idea, where thousands of people are buying into their ideas and books, which in turn create what they are, not because of what they were.

I always wanted to buy these books and videos, just to understand what is so fascinating about their so called “easy money”, I remember reading somewhere about these so called “scams”, the system works by paying you a small sum of money for every book you sell online (usually it is the same book you bought), by simply using the exact same technique they use to sell the book, they even have the templates, fake feedbacks from non-existence people and many more, something of a pyramid scheme.

My advice is, nothing is free and easy, but then again if you believe in yourself and are able to convince a large pool of people to buy the book, then by all means go ahead.
