Neil Armstrong meant to say "One small step for a man", but either forgot to say the "a" or there was a flaw in the recording process that prevented the "a" from being recorded. Under the circumstances I think he can be forgiven for flubbing his line.
The actual words Neil said were " That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" he was supposed to say " That's one small step a for man, one giant leap for mankind" but who cares, everybody knows what he meant.
He was supposed to say "one small step for a man..." but it certainly sounded as if he just said "One small step for man..." Neil Armstrong has confirmed several times that he was going to say "One small step for a man, One giant leap for mankind". He admits unfortunately a slip of the tongue caused him to miss the "a" from the speech.
I believe the answer is "One small step for human, one big step for mankind" It might be wrong and in addition the first who stepped on the moon is Neil Armstrong. -Lisa or Anonymous as this website calls it
