“I don't think Buzz had any reason to take my picture, and it never occurred to me that he should,” Armstrong told his biographer, James R. (One of the most iconic shots, above, is Aldrin Armstrong only appears as a reflection in his helmet.) The reason, according to Armstrong, is that he really didn’t care and didn’t think to ask Aldrin to snap some photos. One of the most celebrated human achievements of the 20th century came at a time when video and still cameras were readily available-yet there are precious few images of Armstrong actually walking on the surface of the Moon. We don't have a really good picture of Neil Armstrong on the Moon. So I would hope that history would grant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand that it was certainly intended, even if it wasn’t said-although it actually might have been.”) Armstrong claimed the statement was spontaneous, but his brother and others have claimed he had written it down prior to the mission. On the other hand, I think that reasonable people will realize that I didn’t intentionally make an inane statement, and certainly the ‘a’ was intended, because that’s the only way the statement makes any sense. As I have listened to it, it doesn’t sound like there was time for the word to be there. Perhaps it was a suppressed sound that didn’t get picked up by the voice mike. Armstrong, Armstrong said, “I’m not particularly articulate. (According to First Man : The Life of Neil A. According to the astronaut, he was fairly sure he stated, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” The “a” may have broken up on transmission or it may have been obscured as a result of his speaking patterns. Armstrong could be heard saying, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” But that’s not exactly what he said. When Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin touched down on the Moon, hundreds of millions of television viewers were riveted. Neil Armstrong's famous quote was misheard back on Earth.
During the Korean War, Armstrong flew 78 combat missions before moving on to the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the precursor to NASA. By age 15, he had accumulated enough flying lessons to command a cockpit, reportedly before he ever earned his driver’s license.
At around age 6, his father took him on a ride in a Ford Trimotor airplane, one of the most popular airplanes in the world. “He stood on one side, looked at it, took the picture, turned around and ran back – but it was a fabulous picture and very important for us.Born Augin Wapakoneta, Ohio, Armstrong became preoccupied with aviation early on. He continued: “Neil remembered that before he finished and before he got into the spacecraft to leave, he ran – very fast – west towards a crater he saw from the distance that would be good to do this with. Professor El-Baz explained why the photographs were crucial at the time, and could still be pivotal in future space missions. “Anything on top of the solid rock would be the soil layer.” “You can only see this if you look at the crater and photograph the rim and see how far you have to go down before you see solid rock. “The geologists had told him that we needed to know the thickness of the soil layer of the surface of the Moon.
