Armstrong EKG Readings During Moon Landing Up For Auction

Posted by samzenpus on from the owning-the-chart dept.

Okian Warrior writes "New Hampshire based RR Auction is selling the EKG of Neil Armstrong's heartbeat taken when he stepped onto the moon, among many other items of space and aviation historical interest. 'It was really slow on the way down, while Aldrin's was racing' described Gerald Schaber, geologist, who had the task of monitoring Armstrong's heartbeat during the final famous moments of the Apollo 11 landing. The auction begins May 16th."

    Wouldn't this violate HIPAA? This is a medical record of the health of a specific patient, easily identified.

    The most real this could be is Armstrong's EKG from the studio where the landing was staged, considering the entire moon landing was a hoax.
