Одни из самых известных слов:
"That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

[a] - самая знаменитая ошибка в артиклях.

Только что читал статью, в которой говорится, что Нил на самом деле сказал артикль (это имеет смысл, т.к. английский у него родной), но при радиосвязи звук урезался. Мне кажется, эта теория справедлива, учитывая то, что между словами for и man была достаточная пауза, чтобы поместился артикль. Ну и в конце-концов, Нил сам предпочитал, чтобы артикль использовался в его фразе, поэтому не важно, что он сказал, а важно, что он имел в виду.

At the bottom of the ladder, Armstrong said "I'm going to step off the LEM now" (referring to the Apollo Lunar Module). He then turned and set his left boot on the surface at 2:56 UTC July 21, 1969,[76] then spoke the famous words "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."[77]

Armstrong had decided on this statement following a train of thought that he had had after launch and during the hours after landing.[78] The broadcast did not have the "a" before "man", rendering the phrase a contradiction (as man in such use is synonymous with mankind). NASA and Armstrong insisted for years that static had obscured the "a", with Armstrong stating he would never make such a mistake, but after repeated listenings to recordings, Armstrong admitted he must have dropped the "a".[77]
