actually, it's my understanding that he did say it correctly - someone was smart enough to investigate.. An Australian computer programmer says he found the missing "a" from Armstrong's famous first words from the moon in 1969, when the world heard the phrase, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
The famous astronaut has maintained he intended to say it properly and believes he did. Thanks to some high-tech sound-editing software, computer programmer Peter Shann Ford might have proved Armstrong right.

how are you going to're taking cameras on the moon the movie would have melted at 250 stages? - the temperature of the moon is 250 stages interior the mild. In shadow it really is like -250. that's especially straightforward to layout a warmth sink in a digicam that would life like the temperature interior the movie compartment Why are not there any stars interior the pitch black sky? -There are not any stars interior the heritage of the photographs of the gap station both. It has to do with the settings of the digicam. in the journey that they set the digicam aperture for the mild required to be certain the celebrities, the stuff like the moon that they had to photo will be so washed out you should no longer make it out. or perchance you imagine that the ISS is a hoax too. Why were there some very suspicious lighting fixtures fixtures performing interior the no longer plausible pictures? -what suspicious lighting fixtures fixtures? Are you speaking about shadows? All are quite defined. If Neil change into first on the moon who took the picture of him getting out of the deliver from outdoors? -NASA had the ability of bolting a digicam to the leg of the LEM and dealing it remotely. Why wasn't there any airborne dirt and dust under the deliver even as they left and why is there no crater the position their deliver once change into? -Helicopters do not depart craters. i imagine they land each and every once in a lengthy time period. And the airborne dirt and dust kinds less than the descent module are there. My question isn't did they land yet how are you going to look after all that data even as there is more beneficial data they did not land than they did? -Your question has a pretend premise. i visit quite look after the landings because they surpassed off. I have shined a laser on the moon and had returns to degree the gap to the moon. The returns are obtainable in from all 6 touchdown zones. If it were a hoax, how did NASA provide the reflectors to the touchdown web pages? If it were a hoax, what plausible reason did the Soviet Union have for going alongside with it?

No, not exactly "grammatically", but it is not the quote he intended to say. I guess the moment got to him and he left a word out. He intended to say:
"One small step for A man, one giant leap for mankind".
The "A" got left out in the awesomeness of the actual moment. Nevertheless, his meaning was clear, and it is not a bad sentiment.

ok its really cool that people are trying to figure that out but i mean why does it matter? why should we try and disect that? i mean nobody has perfect grammar. NOBODY. Even if you think you do, you don't. Plain and simple. Plus, this is one of those giant leaps for mankind things. We should just care about what was said. Who gives a crap about how he said it ya know? Thats my opinion.

I don't see what the big deal is. We all know what he meant to say, and it's the impact not the syntax that matters.
Why won't these people devote their time to issues of importance, like curing AIDS or promoting peace, instead of trying to piss on heroic figures and historic events?

Yes, but the grammar pales in comparison with the achievement.
Also, man can be a synonym for mankind in this context.

Yes. He said "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." It should read "One small ster for A man, one giant leap for mankind." Without the "a" in there it is like saying "One small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind." Either way, people know what he means.

Yes. The quote contains two seperate sentences that stand on their own. He meant "A small step for me. I giant step for everybody."

If I remember, it is: "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". Sorry, I am missing any grammatical errors.

The quote is usually misquoted, due to transcription and how he said it. Poor guy was a little nervous, after all.
