And so we learn today that, in fact, Neil Armstrong, upon being the first man to set foot on the moon, actually did say, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” It turns out static had engulfed the “a,” much to the annoyance of grammarians everywhere. The clarification was made possible using the latest in sound analysis.
Funny, I didn’t know you could get that much static in a Hollywood backlot.
