one small step for man , one giant step for mankind !

***


Armstrong blew his line, what he meant to say was: " one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"

I have always thought that. The way his voice trails off at the end, I think he realized it also.
But in his situation, I would've probably said something like, "Motherfucker! Look at this shit!!" It would not really have been one for the history books.:)


Apollo 11 CMP Michael Collins is supposed to have said to Armstrong one evening before the flight, when the subject of first words on the moon came up: "Well, if you had any balls, you'd say 'Oh my god - what is that thing!?' then scream and kill the mike." :D:SB|. Armstrong was NOT told what to say. Deke Slayton suggested that Armstrong think of something "appropriate".

I went to a Tom Chapin (brother of Harry) concert many years ago (1970's). During his act he did a little comedy routine while he was replacing a string or something. He suggested that famous sayings had to be pre-planned because some 3rd grader, many decades later, would be asked that question on a test and that these quotes should be somewhat "profound". He said that it was a good thing that he was not the first man on the moon because he would have said something like "Hot puppies, I'm on the moon!" and he could just picture the student writing that answer. :)

Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and
then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the
essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach,
and not, when I came to die, found that I had not lived.

-H.D.Thoreau

I posted that quote on my Appalachian Trail Hike blog.B|
