I am fascinated they used 60 pounds and a large amount of space for this teleprinter. At 30K per pound of payload that is $1.8 million per flight. Really shows how important reliable printed updates were considered.

And all the flaws of the printer that were managed around - turning it off to save power and prevent it overheating with specific tones.
