'156 heartbeats at touchdown': Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk and the Indian who covered it

Fifty-six years later, it still remains the most followed and most romantic space mission yet. In April 1968, the now-legendary 2001: A Space Odyssey had shown movie audiences around the world a moon landing. Americans would go on to see their astronauts turn reel into real soon. On July 20, 1969 (July 21 in India), two of their men from the Apollo 11 mission didn't just land on the moon, they walked on it too. Neil Armstrong's famous line while stepping out for his famous moonwalk—'That's one small step for (a) man, a giant leap for mankind'—came at 10:56:20 PM Eastern Time, July 20 (8:26 AM, July 21 for Indians). The landing of the lunar module had come around six-and-a-half hours earlier at 4:17 pm Eastern Time on the same Sunday (1:47 AM IST, July 21). Before these goosebump-generating events came heart-pounding moments for those tracking the climax of a dream President John F Kennedy had set in motion in 1961—"of landing a man safely on moon and returning him safely to Earth" before the end of the decade. Armstrong's heart told its own tale. As the New York Times' John Noble Wilford noted famously in a front-page story, "At the time of the descent rocket ignition, his heartbeat rate registered 110 a minute—77 is normal for him—and it shot up to 156 at touchdown." Armstrong couldn't help it. With Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin for company, he was forced to take over the controls and steer the module away from where the computer was pointing to since "the auto-targeting was taking us right into a football field-sized crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks". Finally, the module named 'The Eagle' touched down about 250 kilometres west-southwest of the crater Maskelyne in the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong's family watched his walk huddled around a 26-inch television, which his son Rick Armstrong later remembered to be "as big a TV as you could get back then". Such were the times. They saw Armstrong say early into his two-hour-and-31-minute moonwalk that "the surface is fine and powdery. I can pick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch. But I can see the footprints of my boots in the treads in the fine sandy particles." President Nixon called the first man to have set foot on moon around 30 minutes after his feat and told him that "because of what you have done the heavens have become a part of man's world, and as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to earth."

Top 10 at 11: ASX slides as investors jump on profit taking … but the birthplace of BHP is back on the ASX

Morning, and welcome to Stockhead's Top 10 (at 11… ish), highlighting the movers and shakers on the ASX in early-doors trading. With the market opening at 10am sharp eastern time, the data is taken at 10.15am in the east, once trading kicks off in earnest. In brief, this is what the market has been up to this morning. Profit taking pushes ASX lower After hitting two new fresh closing highs last week, it's no surprise the ASX has slipped back into profit taking patterns, falling sharply in the first hour of trade. The ASX200 is down 0.74% as of about 10.30am AEST, with all 11 sectors flashing red. Our top 7 banks and broader gold stocks are taking the brunt of it at the moment, with the ASX 200 Banks index down 1.34% and the All Ords Gold shedding 0.93%. The All Tech (-0.16%) and ASX 200 Resources (-0.39%) are in better shape than most, offering a hint of where some supporting strength might come from later in the day. In the meantime, let's check out which ASX small caps are finding their feet despite the general market hangover. WINNERS Code Name Last % Change Volume Market Cap AIV Activex Limited 0.018 157% 2195344 $1,508,518 BHM Brokenhillminesltd 0.49 133% 3624581 $22,594,508 RBR RBR Group Ltd 0.002 100% 500000 $3,120,285 AUH Austchina Holdings 0.002 33% 250000 $4,538,075 BLZ Blaze Minerals Ltd 0.004 33% 2377454 $5,335,392 CT1 Constellation Tech 0.002 33% 33333 $2,212,101 PGD Peregrine Gold 0.245 32% 650741 $15,696,832 CRS Caprice Resources 0.061 27% 14824090 $32,016,302 AOK Australian Oil. 0.0025 25% 21000 $2,075,566 CTN Catalina Resources 0.005 25% 110000 $9,704,076 In the news... Broken Hill Mines (ASX:BHM) has officially listed the ASX, simultaneously kicking off a 4000m drilling program at the Pinnacles Mine with another 3000m of results awaiting assay at the lab. BHM is looking to expand the Pinnacles resource, which currently sits at 6Mt at 10.9% zinc equivalent. It owns the operating Rasp mine, located around the site of the Broken Hill discovery on which the world's biggest miner BHP was founded. Blaze Minerals (ASX:BLZ) is poised to begin drilling at the Loulombo base metals project in the Republic of Congo, after finalising the project's acquisition from Congo Shining SARL. BLZ is particularly interested in the Mimpala target, a 1.5km by 500m zone with artisanal workings over 800m of that strike. The target area has produced rock chip results of up to 60.5% lead, 13.2% vanadium, 2.3% copper and 6.3% zinc. Mark Creasy-backed Peregrine Gold (ASX:PGD) has unearthed a large-scale channel iron deposit at the Newman gold project, over a continuous strike of 6.4km. Initial results have averaged about 57% iron, peaking at 61%. It's the first time iron has been identified in the area, having never been reported by past explorers or the GSWA. ActivEX (ASX:AIV) has drummed up a 310,000-ounce gold resource at the Mt Hogan historical gold mine, the first JORC estimate for the mine, which sits within the Gilberton JV gold project with Gilberton Gold Pty Ltd. Management is also keen to investigate two other historical gold mining centres at the Josephine and Comstock prospects, which have had little modern exploration. RBR Group (ASX:RBR) is working to capitalise on a revival of liquid natural gas developments in Mozambique, spearheaded by TotalEnergies and ExxonMobil megaprojects. The company offers a range of services including training, labour hire, and camp construction and management, all necessary components of project development and management.
