He didn't say "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" he said "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" because Armstrong ain't a redundant dummy, his radio gear just sucks. Also find it weird that the Sunday Press' headline quote is wrong: 'One giant step' seeing as no one said giant step, Armstrong said 'giant leap' Surprised more front pages aren't more interesting/varied.

I wonder if there were errors of that magnitude in the story as well? And if not -- why the double standard? I regret what this says about a news artist's standing as a journalist, and I do not accept it.
