“Once on the surface [after the landing] and realizing the moment was at hand, fortunately I had some hours to think about it after getting there. My own view was that it was a very simplistic statement: what can you say when you step off of something? Well, something about a step. It just sort of evolved during that period that I was doing the procedures of the practice takeoff and the EVA prep and all the other activities that were on our flight schedule at that time. I didn’t think it was particularly important, but other people obviously did.” (Neil Armstrong, as quoted in James R. Hansen’s book First Man: The Life of Neil Armstrong)

“That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for

mankind.”

“That’s one small step

for [a] man; one giant leap for

mankind.”

“When Armstrong landed, we all listened to the raw air-to-ground and when he said the part about the ‘small step’ it was fuzzy – this was the unenhanced version, live – and it was not clear if he said ‘a man’ or ‘man.’...It was one of the most important quotes in history and it wouldn’t do to get it wrong and we didn’t have time to pursue the matter…. Worse, it wouldn’t do to have me say one thing, and the Associated Press another, or to be contradicted by The New York Times…. We concluded that he did not say ‘a man’ and that’s the way it went out to the world.”

(Joel Shurkin, as quoted in Jacob Berkowitz’s article “Moon Landing: One Small Slipup for (a) Man” on theglobeandmail.com, July 17, 2004)

“Neil A. Armstrong, the Apollo 11 commander, had said that one small word was omitted in the official version of the historic utterance he made he stepped on the moon 11 days ago. When Mr. Armstrong saw the quotation – ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’ – in the mission transcript after his return to earth, he said he was misquoted…. ‘There should have been the article “a” before “man,”’ the astronaut said….”

“…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. Whatever the reason, inserting the omitted article makes a slight but significant change in the meaning of Mr. Armstrong’s words, which should read: ‘That’s one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind.’” (From the New York Times article “Armstrong Adds an ‘A’ to Historical Quotation,” July 31, 1969)

“[Dang] I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn’t I?” (Neil Armstrong, as quoted in the book Chariots for Apollo: The Untold Story Behind the Race to the Moon by Charles Pellegrino and Joshua Stoff)
