NASA didn't develop a space pen...
...they used pencils, just like the Russians.
Then, one day a bloke called Paul Fisher came along and developed a pen that can write in zero gravity, extreme temperatures etc. It cost him over $1M to develop, not NASA. He sold 400 pens to NASA for $2.95 each.
A simple search for NASA Space Pen gives you the Snopes article for this.
