I am wondering if in your video posted (the effect one) the maker edited the line from one video I listened to by removing the "Ing" from "interviewing".

The movie gets it wrong, it uses the pop culture misquote.
www.filmsite.org...
I thought I read somewhere that the film producers/writers changed it intentionally to emphasize the immediacy of the drama, and bring the audience in with the astronauts. I don't have a problem with this--they are making a film, not an archive.

I just find it interesting. The man who said it, disputes the quotes attributed to him, and the only witness there with him, backs him up. Aldrin has agreed with what Armstrong has said many times.
In total, Armstrong said, after putting down his foot, "That's one small step for a man," (meaning himself, as he put his foot down), "one giant leap for mankind."
It is logical and makes sense exactly the way Armstrong said it. The transmission to Earth had noise during the "a" of "a man", but Aldrin heard him clearly say what he said.

Find me real proof not based on peoples faulty memories you goose.
It's quite obvious you guys are remembering it wrong as the audio proves he said man, not a man.

You are fine relying on an old mans memory
And English grammar that necessitates an "a".

no it doesn't.
Leading with bias again..
man can be used as a plurality..
WAtch any documentary on evolution.. You will hear "the evolution of man"
not "a man"
you are still in the wrong argument as we both agree on what he said.
I'm trying to get you to see you are basing that on a man's memory..
Found where the audio video comes from.. You can clearly see the words on the video.. they do not match just let her tell you herself.

LOL
"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" is quite poetic actually.
We both know that's not what he said.

Sounds great, but when man is plural the meaning is removed.
