Regarding Armstrong's first words on the moon:

I remember listening to them in real time and saying to myself and/or my
girlfriend, "What the hell does that mean?"  In any case, Armstrong later
confirmed (in FIRST ON THE MOON, I think) that he meant to say, and in fact
THOUGHT he HAD said "One small step for A man...".  I have heard the broadcast
replayed a number of times, and I don't think he said it, VOX or no VOX.
I think he is to be forgiven, given the situation at the moment!
