Graphite pencils have been used since the 16th century when shepherds in England discovered graphite deposits and began using the substance to mark their sheep. Pencils provide a simple and universal writing tool that works in various environments like underwater or in space. They do not require power or batteries, making pencils a convenient option for writing in situations where other tools may not work.

The issue of writing in space is complicated for several reasons. The
