(b) “One giant leap for man, one small step for mankind.”
(c) “One small step for mankind, one giant leap for man.”
(d) “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
December 14, 2008 4:19 pm at 4:19 pm #1078027JosephParticipantintellegent – correct!
December 14, 2008 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm #1078028brooklyn19Participantjoseph! i’m ashamed you even posted that! it’s “D”
December 14, 2008 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm #1078029JosephParticipantbrooklyn19, correct!
December 14, 2008 4:25 pm at 4:25 pm #1078030I can only tryMemberJoseph-
Neil Armstrong’s famous quote of “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” caught him grief for many years, due to the gramatical error of omitting the “a” before “man”.
Armstrong always insisted he’d said “a”.
A recent analysis of the “cleaned up” recording appears to show that Armstrong was correct.

December 14, 2008 9:15 pm at 9:15 pm #1078037Esther1MemberThis question is for my son! It’s Obama. I think when his mother (Ann Dunham?) remarried Soetoro, they moved to Jakarta (Indonesia?) for a few years where he was known as Barry Soetoro.
December 14, 2008 9:17 pm at 9:17 pm #1078038asdfghjklParticipantbrooklyn19: has something to do with obama from what i remember!!!
December 14, 2008 10:25 pm at 10:25 pm #1078040jewishfeminist02MemberOkay, let’s not get political here. We know how that’s turned up in the past.
December 14, 2008 11:01 pm at 11:01 pm #1078041DocParticipantjf02, most of the questions here ARE political in nature. (Although the oilam’s political viewpoints are out of sync with yours, thats no reason to refrain from discussion…) 🙂

December 15, 2008 12:47 am at 12:47 am #1078048I can only tryMemberPeter Minuit was the purchaser of Manhattan, for @ $26 dollars wort of chotchkes.
It wasn’t a bad deal for the Indians who sold it, since they were actually a Brooklyn-based tribe!
The Manhattan-based Indians were ripped off.
This is akin to my selling you LaGuardia airport for only $50 – a great deal for both of us, if you’re allowed to keep it.
Most history books omit this.
