Funny that people have debated over it forever. Yet he said it exactly as it was supposed to be said.

I still think he muffed it. Always have.

Me too, but it came out as it was supposed to. Divinely purposed slip up, heh.

In any case, it is what people heard and recorded it as, even “if” it were a transmission blip.

It’s quite the fantastic announcement, that “one small step for man” is also “one giant leap for mankind”, spoken just like that, no indefinite article (making man = mankind). Most people think it falls flat.
