It was supposed to be "one small step for *A* man," Neil. What you said
was redundant and didn't make any sense.


We've been quiet on this issue for a while now, but that doesn't excuse
your error, Mr. Armstrong.


He's admitted he flubbed the line. *What more do you want.


That's my recollection as well.


Yeah, and God punished him by taking off his finger.

Cool. When did he do this?

Actually, had I been there, I would've popped an "Oh my God, it's full
of stars!" just to **** with them.


What other lines would have worked there? Something from Buck Rogers?

I mean, seriously, what could they have done?


At the time, nothing beyond firing his ass and hanging him.

I've never been to any moon, but while looking around myself at the
local university I certainly don't feel I'm on my home planet.

What he was supposed to actually say came out within a few years after
the flight, but it was claimed that the "a" was dropped by a
communication's glitch.


NASA claimed that.

I think he can be forgiven for being a bit excited at the time he was
talking. :-D


Armstrong thought he had said it right...

Luckily, the thing didn't turn into this, as reported by The Onion:
http://members.shaw.ca/rlongpre01/moon.html
And a video set to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIkHLO93lCA


http://www.snopes.com/quotes/onesmall.asp
Claim: Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong flubbed his historic 'one small step'
remark as he became the first man to set foot on the surface of the moon.

Status: True.
....
NASA obligingly provided the cover story that "static" had obscured the missing
word:
....
The "a" apparently went unheard and unrecorded in the transmission because of
static, a spokesman for the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston said today in
a telephone interview.
....
But he knew what he said. "There must be an 'a', " Mr. Armstrong says of the event
in the 1986 book Chariots for Apollo. "I rehearsed it that way. I meant it that
way. And I'm sure I said it that way."

Then the Grumman representative, Tommy Attridge, put on a commemorative 45-rpm
recording of the flight. No matter what speed they played it at, there was no
"a".

According to the authors, Mr. Armstrong sighed, "Damn, I really did it. I blew the
first words on the moon, didn't I?"
....

They had a remote Depress button that wouild have automaticly open
their visors it ehy did not keep to script.

ALos not pay them per-deim!

Speaking of which, I saw the Travel Pay Vouncher Alrin filled out to
get his per diem (he was still in the military then) it was like this:

Home to Houston: POV 26 miles
Houstin to Cape Canerval Govt Plane
Cape Canaveral to Moon govt Spaceship
Moon to earth Gvt Spaceship

I tink he got abot 36 cents for driving his car to Mission control
from his house.
