笑話習(xí)題簿11.2.24
During the heat of the space race in the 1960s, the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of approximately $1million U.S.
The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a novelty item back here on earth.
The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, used a pencil. 在二十世紀(jì)六十年代,美國(guó)和蘇聯(lián)正處于太空競(jìng)賽的白熱化階段,美國(guó)航空航天局決定研制一種圓珠筆,以便在太空艙重力為零的環(huán)境下仍然可以書寫。經(jīng)過(guò)大量的研發(fā)工作,花費(fèi)了大約一百萬(wàn)美元的成本,太空筆終于研制出來(lái)了。那支筆果然可以在太空書寫,在回到地球后,作為一樣新奇的小玩意兒也確實(shí)吸引了一些目光。
而面臨著同樣難題的蘇聯(lián),則選擇了一支鉛筆。練習(xí):
你知道鉛筆有什么弊端嗎?
答案:
石墨會(huì)比較容易斷呢~
