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.
one small step for man one giant leap for mankind
' That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.' He spoke these words as he stepped out onto the lunar surface, the first time anyone had set foot on the moon. Much has been made about the omission of the word 'a', but it is perfectly clear what he meant and recent analysis techniques have shown the word was present, as he has always maintained it was. He has since stated that he had an awareness at the time of it being only one physical step for him, but that such a historic advancement was only made possible by the work of many other persons all around the world.
