crazy month of september. anyway something that i read about in the managerial accounting class.
When Nasa began to launch astronauts into space, it found out that pens don't work in zero gravity - ink doesn't flow down to the writing surface. So scientists developed a pen that worked in zero gravity, upside down, under water, on practically any surface including crystal & in temperatures ranging from below freezing to more than 300 degrees Celsius. It took the boffins a decade and US$ 12m. As for the Russians - well, they solved the problem faster & cheaper: they just used a pencil.
interesting? well, which is why before you put ur time and effort into something, it is always good to take a step back, reframe the situation and re-analyse things once again before taking the plunge. Easier say than done perhaps
