"Houston, we are clean shaven."


An interesting fact. A Braun electric shaver has more computing power than the Apollo Lunar lander. Think about that. The first astronauts went into space AND landed on the moon with little more than a calculator and tin foil.

I wonder if Neil Armstrong wakes up every morning, grabs his Braun razor and marvels at how far we have come in the the almost 40 years since his "giant leap for mankind" in 1969. Or, I wonder if he looks at the astronauts who fly in the Space Shuttle and kinda thinks they are little more than junior space rangers.
