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.

Did neil Armstrong say a man or just man?

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.


What did the first astronaut say when he landed on the moon?

Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon. He famously said "One small step for man .. but .. one giant leap for mankind". It's not actually his line because another of the astronauts (I think) was filmed saying it beforehand and it was supposed to be "One small step for a man but a giant leap for mankind" because although the first step on the moon was a small step for him, it was a huge moment in history.
