    The crew of NASA’s Apollo 11, the first manned mission to land on the Moon, fulfilled the goal set by President John F. Kennedy, that the United States would reach the lunar surface by the end of the 1960’s.
    Launched on July 16th, 1969
    Apollo 11 crew members:
    Commander Neil Armstrong,
    Command Module Pilot Michael Collins,
    Lunar Module Pilot Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Jr.
    On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
    This special Edition Cap-O-Matic Space Pen has the same pressurized ink refill cartridge used on the Apollo 11 Mission. It defies gravity, writes in the harshest of environments, and is still used on all manned space flights today.
    “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
    Neil Armstrong - July 20, 1969
    The Cap-O-Matic line utilizes cap activation to extend and retract the point, and each carries a gas pressurized PR style ink refill cartridge, which means that they feature all of the unique capabilities that are synonymous with Fisher products: they will write upside down - at any angle, under water, through grease, extreme temperatures (-30 to +250 degrees F), on almost any surface, three times longer than the average pen, and of course in the gravity free vacuum of space, and all of our pens are lifetime guaranteed for quality against all manufacturing defects

    Paul Fisher’s legacy embodies the definition of success with his creation of the sealed and pressurized ink cartridge, which for decades has aided the efforts of all astronauts in collecting data throughout every manned flight into space since 1967.  Paul knew the challenges ahead of creating a ball point pen that functioned in a zero-gravity environment, but he never allowed those challenges to deter his course.  More than five decades later, Fisher Space Pen joins millions around the world to celebrate the courageous accomplishments of the crew from the Apollo 13 mission.
    This Special Edition Cap-O-Matic Space Pen has the same pressurized ink refill cartridge used on the Apollo 13 Mission - It defies gravity, writing in the gravity free vacuum of space, and of course at any angle here on Earth. It writes in the harshest of temperatures (-30 to +250 degrees F) and environments including under water, through grease, on almost any surface, lasting three times longer than an average pen, and is still used on all manned space flights today.

    Full-sized pen in with push action that makes the point come out or go back in. This pen is engraved so that the brass underneath is showing.  Engraving will not rub off since you are actually seeing the brass and it is not painted on the pen.

    PRESSURIZED CARTRIDGES
    Fisher Space Pen’s Sealed Pressurized Ink Cartridge
    Performs in temperatures from -30ºF to +250ºF, underwater, in zero gravity, at
    any angle–even upside down! The ultimate in dependability! The choice of ski
    patrols, search and rescue teams, law enforcement agencies, armed forces, and
    everyone who demands reliability in a writing instrument.
    Fisher Space Pen was designed for the NASA outer space program and the military - this pen will not shine, and will write on most surfaces without gravity. That's right - you can even write upside down! This pen uses a pressurized cartridge so that it does not depend on gravity and will write at any angle. Write on most surfaces, including greasy paper, wet paper, UNDER WATER, in outer space, in freezing cold (-50) or heat hotter than in Baghdad(+400)!
    It comes with BLACK INK and a MEDIUM POINT. The perfect gift for that person that has everything. The warranty by Fisher Space Pen will honor any of their pens, no matter where purchased, and without a receipt. Lifetime guarantee included. .
    THE FISHER SPACE PEN STORY
    Fisher Space Pen rose to prominence when founder Paul Fisher invented a retractable, pressurized pen called the Anti-Gravity 7 (#AG7) that worked flawlessly in zero gravity aboard the first manned Apollo mission in 1968. Five decades later the company continues to thrive with pens still flown aboard every manned space flight.
    After Paul Fisher earned NASA as a customer for his revolutionary Space Pen, he continued to focus his efforts on developing unique, quality products. All Fisher Space Pens are handcrafted and able to write underwater, over grease, at any angle, upside down, 3-times longer than the average pen, in extreme temperatures ranging from (-30°F to +250°F), and in zero gravity.
    "People find that our technology is by far the most reliable from both a shelf-life and environmental standpoint." says Cary Fisher, now co-owner and Paul's son.
    One of Paul Fisher's first ideas was for the iconic Bullet Pen, named for its sleek rounded ends. This particular Space Pen is in The Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection as a symbol of American industrial design. This mid-century modern pen is still available today in 16 colors and finishes and remains one of Fisher Space Pen's most popular gift items.
    "The stick pen is a consumer-industrial product," Cary says. "The Space Pen is a gift item."
    Fisher's varieties of pens - such as the Trekker Space Pen comes with a breakaway lanyard, making it easily attachable to a belt loop, backpack, purse or climbing gear - are manufactured and assembled in the company's 30,000-square-foot warehouse in Boulder City, Nevada.
    Approximately 65 employees create the company’s unique line of high-quality writing instruments. “Our whole culture is to treat people with respect and dignity. I know everybody by first and last name. Every job is valuable to the company,” Fisher says. Today, Cary runs the company with Donald “Dock” Wong, who has been at Fisher Space Pen for almost 50 years.
    Cesar Reveles one of their plant managers and loyal employee for 27 years notes, "We're a small company, but we're all focused on one thing: making a great product. We’re upholding the whole notion of 'Made in America,' which, I think, still counts."
