2. Who invented the very first example of a ball point pen? John Jacob Loud who wanted something that would write on leather. It wouldn't write on paper though so wasn't commercially viable and the patent lapsed. The Hungarians Georgs and Laszlo Biro invented the first PRACTICAL example of a ballpoint pen

3. Who was the first woman in space? Valentina Tereshkova

. 4. When Armstrong and Aldrin set foot on the moon who was left in orbit? Michael Collins
