Is the USA ready to admit that Neil Armstrong flubbed his line yet?

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.

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.

It's called truth-lag, and our DARPA has lots of public funded truth-
lag to spare.

A worse error than that was the shot from Ron Howard's miniseries
"From The Earth To The Moon", about Apollo 11. The whole miniseries is
arguably centered around the moment Armstrong stepped onto the moon.

And in the shot, when Armstrong steps off the LEM onto the moon's
surface.... there's already a footprint there in the dust. DOH! They
must have done a few takes, and... ummm... forgot to clean the
footprint from the set between takes.

So the real Armstrong didn't do badly at all, given that he had one
take, no script, and no director.

The other footprints were left by lunar Scientologists, who helped
Neil Armstrong run down his personality problems using nothing more
than two tin cans and a D battery.

I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves.
Alas, the time is coming when man will no longer give birth to a star. Alas, the time of the most despicable man is coming, he that is no longer able to despise himself. Behold, I show you the last man.
'What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?' thus asks the last man, and blinks.
The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race is as ineradicable as the flea; the last man lives longest.
'We have invented happiness,'say the last men, and they blink. They have left the regions where it was hard to live, for one needs warmth. One still loves one's neighbor and rubs against him, for one needs warmth...
One still works, for work is a form of entertainment. But one is careful lest the entertainment be too harrowing. One no longer becomes poor or rich: both require too much exertion. Who still wants to rule? Who obey? Both require too much exertion.
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
'Formerly, all the world was mad,' say the most refined, and they blink...
One has one's little pleasure for the day and one's little pleasure for the night: but one has a regard for health.
'We have invented happiness,' say the last men, and they blink.
- Nietzsche

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.
I think he can be forgiven for being a bit excited at the time he was
talking. :-D
Luckily, the thing didn't turn into this, as reported by The Onion:

NASA claimed that.

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?"
