And I thought it was about this:

In 1955 it was announced[2] that the distinction cloth worn between the stripes of officers of the non-executive branches of the Royal Navy was to be abolished, except for those who must be clearly recognisable as non-combatant under the Geneva Convention.

The residual use of distinction cloth for non-combatants is therefore:

• Scarlet – medical
• Orange – dental
• Salmon pink – wardmasters (to 1993)
• Silver grey - civilian officers from Royal Corps of Naval Constructors (RCNC)[3]
• Dark green – civilian officers when required to wear uniform[4][nb 2]

I always wondered what the reasoning why. Makes total sense.

Your pen works by gravity.

In the late 50’s, NASA spent two million dollars to develop a pressurized pen that would work in space. The Soviets used pencils.

But it's still funny as astory to ilustrate how we some time over think things too much.

Also pencils had graphite dust and wood all of which were dangerous in a pure oxygen environment. But flames in space are pretty awesome to look at at least;
Flames in space are otherworldly—and tomatoes on Earth feel the heat
