The conversation shifts to more tangible artifacts, such as a Collins Radio artifact from the Apollo moon landing era. Hudson displays a high-definition slide of a piece of equipment believed to have been used in NASA's Apollo missions, possibly to facilitate communications with spacecraft. These historically significant devices demonstrate the technological prowess of the era and remain highly collectible.
Further, he shows a mechanical teleprinter, dating to the 1940s, used for transmitting coded messages across vast distances. Its complex gear workings and vintage paper output highlight the elaborate mechanical computations of the time—an era when communication technology was still predominantly analog and heavily reliant on intricate machinery.
