...butmmmmfgfhiant leap for mankind.

That's what I always heard. Did Neil Armstrong choke in his false teeth while
saying those words?

And what about "man"?
Did he say "men"? Did he forget "a" before "man"
He must have meant "this is a small step for me as a man, but a giant leap for
the whole of mankind"

However even in the sixties prime TV time was expensive, so they had to cut him
short, as goes with all Hollywood productions, like that other movie about that
other faked landing on Mars. Thank God a documentary team was available, showing
us it was all a fake. Where were they on July 21, 1969?
