Neil Armstong: 1930-2012

I quiet hero moves on…

It was supposed to be “one small step for ‘a’ man.” At a moment like that, he can be forgiven for missing a syllable.

At the bottom of the ladder, Armstrong said “I’m going to step off the LEM now” (referring to the Apollo Lunar Module). He then turned and set his left boot on the surface at 2:56 UTC July 21, 1969, then spoke the famous words “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” 

Armstrong had decided on this statement following a train of thought that he had had after launch and during the hours after landing. The broadcast did not have the “a” before “man”, rendering the phrase a contradiction (as man in such use is synonymous with mankind). NASA and Armstrong insisted for years that static had obscured the “a”, with Armstrong stating he would never make such a mistake, but after repeated listenings to recordings, Armstrong admitted he must have dropped the “a”. Armstrong later said he “would hope that history would grant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand that it was certainly intended, even if it was not said – although it might actually have been”.

      The more a person investigates the moon landing claims, the more likely they are to disbelieve this foolishness.
