Am I REALLY the only one who can see that?!

Am I REALLY the only one who can see how retarded his little speech upon stepping off the moon-lander was?!?

"This is one small step for Man, and one giant leap for mankind"

Seriously does no one see the complete error in that sentence?!?!

M on man shouldn't be a capital. Oh and there's no full stop at the end. Is that what you were looking for? :)

Yes, there should be an "a" in it. Armstrong did say it, but it was missed due to a technical fault.

what a load of tosh.

Missed out? He even says his speech, and the president says "and our hero lands saying, 'this is one small step for man. one giant leap for mankind' - so obviously no one saw how daft it was

He said he said it. It's just like chinese whispers, I guess. Sentences are distorted over time.

I would have said that EXACT same thing, only I would have said it correctly.

Especially since that speech was written for him.

You'd think he could've gotten it right.

Now now, children children!

Does it really matter what Neil Armstrong said when he stepped off a lunar module prop onto a moon set studio floor? ;)
