Product Description
Created for astronauts in 1965, the Fisher Space Pen is one of the most recognizable pens of the 20th century, writing three times longer than the ordinary ballpoint. The Infinium Space Pen takes it up a notch with even longer-lasting ink—in fact, the average user won’t run out in their lifetime Read More

Just to be clear, the $150 MSRP listed is for the TiNi model which costs extra on the drop, so it should be $89/$120 MSRP or $119/$150 MSRP.
Also, although the lifetime claim is a bit iffy depending on how much you write, Fisher's lifetime *guarantee* is pretty serious. We had a very, very old Bullet (about 30 years old) and it got beaten up and left in a damp environment uncapped, so it corroded a bit. I contacted Fisher and asked about purchasing a replacement part to get it in working order. Despite explaining that this was most certainly not *normal* wear and tear, they shipped us a brand-new pen after we sent it in. This is a company that stands behind their products.

justinmrkvaMy dad gave me a normal blue one like 20 years ago. Still writes and I haven't changed out the pen. Case is still solid too actually. :) Best pen ever.

Soooo, mentioned earlier that the Infinium was pretty much just a newer-named version of the Magnum Bullet/Millennium/2010/Mars spacepens, but I rediscovered (an old email with) another response from Fisher, when I had asked them about it - apparently they did have an interesting difference initially:
"For the most part yes – There was a brief period of time several years back where we changed how these pens were made from having their barrels filled with ink & pressurized to instead having a large ink refill cartridge inside that was non-removable by the end user, however that change only lasted a couple of years and we have since switched back to filling the barrels themselves and pressurizing the entire pen. The primary differences between the former Mars/Milleniums and the current Infiniums is that the Infiniums all feature a new emblem on the back and they all say ‘Infinium’ down the front of the pocket clip."
I forgot that they said they had a large replaceable ink refill cartridge at one time that wasn't removable by the end user - wonder if many of those are out in the wild? And then, I figure it was a deal where you'd send it back to Fisher for a replacement cartridge. And wonder if they still use the large refill cartridges in other pens or if that idea for a refill was scrapped? Just thinkin' visibly - I could probably ask 'em if I really wanted answers/insight.
Also, I found the references to how long the ink supply was supposed to last - my memory was fuzzy and messed up what the values were. Instead of thinking the ink supply lasted 80 times longer than the average refill, or about 50 years for the average writer, I believe this (cached archive of a webpage) was where I got the idea way back when: http://web.archive.org/web/20031002061317/http:/www.thewritersedge.com/fisher.millennium.cfm "They will each write a continuous line over 30 miles long which is enough ink to last the average person over 80 YEARS!" Now, if you take that distance value with the idea from the company's owner (quoted in a separate comment) that they quote the lower part of the range though they've had linear write-outs of longer distances, then 80 years for an average writer could be a conservative estimate, which is pretty impressive. When my second Millennium finally was sent back, it could've been because I knew that the Millennium had such a large supply of ink that I liked doodling and drawing the diz character Goofy's portrait so much (which used a lot of black ink), which helped the pen to actually run out of ink quicker than usual...
Plus, from that page, I was reminded of the Millennium II pens as well (they had different finishes), and you can see the Magnum Bullet spacepen name - see? I wasn't makin' it up, lol. And separately, here's the cache of the specific page where I got my Magnum (though I got it for $1 less - maybe they lowered the price a year later?): http://web.archive.org/web/19971012224155/http:/www.elitescribe.com/p15a.htm
So at one time, they wanted to call it the Magnum Bullet, yet it was referred to as the Millennium as a name which stuck for a while, even though that name's not actually on the barrel. The name which IS on the various incarnations (even on the Infinium)? The 2010 Fisher Spacepen. Or actually, "2010 Space Pen by Fisher", though it seems I'm used to combining the words 'space' and 'pen', apparently. Just fyi. :D
Well, I'm havin' fun lookin' back at the history of the Millennium pens - how 'bout a screencap of a cache of the What's New page from Fisher, the way it looked back in Jun '97 (& which archive is now not displaying properly anymore - funny that even caches or archives are also temporary)? Got that image/'cap added of the now-defunct page: http://web.archive.org/web/19970601150025/http://www.spacepen.com/page1.htm
And forgot to mention that the Infiniums have the emblem on back. Well, as ya were...

Hope it all helps! Happened to have info about this drop which I thought I could share of which others might not be aware, in case they were interested.
Also, that "What's New" Fisher Space Pen page I uploaded got resized to where folks might not be able to read it, and I saw that it's probably an automatically-generated deal. Looking at the url, I removed the sizing parameters, so I think that, if they click on the following url, it'll let folks see the page at the original resolution.
Actually, not sure if I'm allowed to link to the larger version of the file, however, you can see it there, fwiw: http://j.mp/FisherSpacePenWhatIsNew_1Jun97 :)

AussieMickYou might be surprised to know that pencils were actually extremely risky to use on a spacecraft... graphite particles tend to cause explosions.... the wood particles were also at risk of causing a fire... as you can imagine when paired with oxygen rich system, it doesn't end well! Not to mention a pencil is hardly permanent, they could be modified and smeared easily!

NASA spent millions developing a pen that would write in space, while the Russians thought hey, a pencil is fine :)

Just to nit-pick on the listing (as a scientist)... These are coated with titanium nitride, abbreviated using the standard atomic symbols as TiN. TiN is a very hard ceramic material used in protective and/or colored coatings (among other things). TiNi, as it's written in the listing, on the other hand, would be titanium nickel, which is an entirely different material (shape memory alloy... although usually written as NiTi, or nitanol). A space pen made out of shape memory alloy would be awesome and something I've never seen before (other than small parts within the pen), which is why I looked at this drop in the first place. Thus, you can see (hopefully) the importance of not only accuracy in this case, but chemistry in general.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that, but you could be onto something. Perhaps they could write it as "Ti-N"? I don't particularly like it, but it's still better than "TiNi."

I have two of these pens along with literally tens and tens other pens made by Fisher. I gave one of the two to a friend and the second one is resting in its original box - never used. There is no real advantage or extra value in this pen and the overall quality of Fisher pens tells you not to buy something you plan to keep and actually use for a lifetime.

I find the Infinium writing experience to be more sensual than any other pen . It is smoother than Fisher refills , inkier yet easy to write precisely.
37 miles is difficult to believe though ! A 2 mile line would yield about 15,000 pages of handwriting !! My fave .

Cool. I don't think I've ever seen the original Fisher AG-7 pop up here though, which is surprising. I thought it'd be more popular considering it was the pen that was actually procured by NASA, and also has a unique and satisfying click mechanism.

Daisy_CutterI own an AG-7 and I agree, the clicking mechanism is very satisfying. It is an amazing pen and worth the money.

Didn't go through the thread, so I don't know if anyone else has said this, but....
This pen is massive compared to the regular space pen. I got one of these for my wife and we both immediately disliked it. Despite the fact that this might be one of the best flowing ball points we've ever used. The size was just too off for us to enjoy. Went back to Amazon after three weeks off hemming and hawing about it. Which was a bit of a shame cause whoever was selling them was only selling for $50 bucks! Guess it was mistake cause after I returned it, it was back up to 150. Oh well. Would have just sat here gathering dust....guess maybe I should have sold it on ebay...anyhoo...yeah, big. unruly.

enerowow that is a big difference..i guess if you didnt want a bullet style it would be nice. but then it would be too small for a full size carry. too bad.

Definitely just a gimmick advantage over a regular Fisher Space Pen for many users, but a pretty crazy one at that! Does it come with a guarantee to supply a replacement for free if you manage to run out of ink within 50y or something?
