Research finds that porn-related problems are predominantly caused by religious conflict. Clinically, this means people need help, but not necessarily with the porn.
What does it mean that religion, not porn use, predicts porn-related problems?
Development costs in that era vs. availability now don’t equate. I don’t remember the exact number, but the actual research & development of the zero-g pen did have a significant price tag.
NASA didn’t develop the pen at all. Fisher did. They just bought the pens from. Wiki says they bought the pens for less than 3 bucks a pop back then. Adjusted for inflation the pens are actually a couple bucks cheaper today than they were back then lol.
While a million bucks in the 60s wasn’t exactly cheap it certainly wasn’t some astronomical amount by any means. Certainly not when compared to what we actually spent getting the ISS built and sent up to space.

The point of the story is that Russia also used the same pen. It’s nothing to do with the cost.
