Stafford explained to ground controllers that the crew was about to conduct "scientific experiment Sugar Hotel Alpha Victor Echo"-or SHAVE. NASA had spent $5,000 trying unsuccessfully to perfect a small electric razor with a vacuum attachment that would suck up bristles -which otherwise might float freely and clog up instruments in the weightless environment of the spacecraft. The Apollo 10 astronauts had a simpler solution. They broke...
