I enjoy the "ONLY 75K!!!" portion  :p

Those look like some hefty spherical keys judging by the pictures

Just what I never knew I needed, a bunch of useless old nasa equipment. Why can't they just donate things to museums?
I have seen those ADDS terminal on thier own several time before, for like $40-60.

"Shipping: May not ship to Australia".

Meh.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The terminals appear to be ADDS terminals; perhaps less historic specimens might be available.

Thats not even the proper control equpiment, thats just stuff used to test it prior to launch... who in there right mind would pay that much money for usless terminal equpiment used to test something...

Hmmm, I think we need an orange and yellow Hubble replacement group buy!  I'm in for one set if they are spherical.  :p
