ruzzians use pencils. That's how every NASA joke ends. * correction to a grammatical error, ruzzians is all lower case regardless of word position. Same for putin.

Pencils are problematic in space and NASA didn't spend millions developing it

Sorry had to "ahem actually" your joke :p

Nah, the joke is that NASA spent millions on a positive pressure space pen...the ruzzians used a pencil. Lol, don't be trying to fix history that doesn't need fixing. The ruzzians also invaded Ukraine and lost.

The joke is factually incorrect. The Soviets used pens because graphite and pencil shavings are problematic for delicate equipment in microgravity.

Also the Soviet government has little to no relation to the capitalist oligarchy that currently runs Russia so the comment about Ukraine is irrelevant.
