NASA's 'Space Race' Rockets Relaunched as Collectible Retro 51 Pens November 27, 2018
They became iconic by powering some of NASA's most historic missions, and now the rockets that lofted the first astronauts into space and boosted humans to the moon can help launch your next letter, school assignment or office memo.
Retro 51, maker of the Tornado line of collectible rollerball pens, has announced its Space Race Series, a trio of writing instruments that are styled after NASA's early astronaut launch vehicles. The pens, issued in partnership with the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, are in celebration of next year's 50th anniversary of the first moon landing.
Each pen in the Space Race Series is individually numbered and limited to a total of 1958, a nod to the 60th anniversary of NASA's founding.
