I was wondering it it worth the $30 is there anything special about it other than " space " in the name. It seems kind of small and it might be difficult to write with.:candle:

Seriously, writing in the rain or freezing snow is a challenge for most other pens - NOT this one!
Thanks for the tip on fine point refills,I have a few space pens,but stopped using them due to the ink smudging problem.Have to try a fine point refill.Sigman said:Well you "could" just use a pencil?
Bottom line ---> YES, get one now! Some have stated that they had a problem with earlier refills as far as "smudging" goes. I found (and I believe this was stated somewhere as well...) that the fine point blue doesn't smudge, but the medium black did. I sent "several" new refills back and asked that they replace them with the fine point blues and they did!
BTW, they are available for less than $30...and yes, eBay is a good place to check them out. Oh and they are a drop in replacement for Parker pens as well, if you just want to buy a refill and slap it in a Parker?
