FOUNTAIN PEN, ROLLERBALL and Pencil 1.1mm
This matching set of rollerball, pencil and fountain pen come packaged in this sturdy box with snappy magnetic closure. Each writing instrument is engraved with a limited edition number with 175 total sets available. This spacecraft themed set looks back to July 1975 when the United States and Soviet Union teamed up to connect in space with the first crewed international space station. It was a “memorable handshake in space” and “a symbol of detente between the superpowers… to mark the end of the Space Race.” Choose from Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and 1.1 mm nib sizes. Link in the bio.
The Space Race, an era of fierce competition between American and Soviet space programs, was bookended by two events: the launch of Sputnik in 1957, and the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975. After almost 20 years of breakneck progress from both sides, which gave us the first man in space, the first spacewalk, the moon landings, and countless other achievements unimaginable a generation before, NASA and their Soviet counterpart the Soviet Academy of Sciences worked together on the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project to kick off a new age of international cooperation in space.
