AMHERST, N.H. - A New Hampshire auction house is offering an EKG of
Neil Armstrong’s heartbeat taken at the moment he first set foot on the
moon.
Amherst-based RR Auction will take bids on the
electrocardiogram, which registered a normal heartbeat, and other
artifacts during an online auction from May 16 through May 23.
The
auction house will also accept bids on other space and aviation items
in addition to the heartbeat of the Apollo 11 commander.
Other
artifacts include the joystick controller operated by Apollo 11
astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins in the Apollo 11 command
module.
Auction officials say over 85 lots of Apollo 11 material will be featured in the auction.
Armstrong took his "giant leap for mankind" on July 20, 1969. Buzz Aldrin later joined him on the moon's surface.
Armstrong, an Ohio native, died in August at age 82.
