Out of This World Dads
Pens are usually lame gifts — good thing this is no ordinary pen! Invented for the Apollo 7 Space Mission, this write-anywhere pen has a shelf life of 100+ years so Dad will never run out of black ink. Pressurized gas ensures a smooth ink flow at any angle, no gravity necessary. Dad's inner brainiac will appreciate that the pen even writes in -30 to 250 degrees Fahrenheit, not to mention underwater.
