Neil Armstrong's famous quote on the Moon has been revised.
Next up: editing Julius Ceasar, Oscar Wilde, and Winston Churchill.Some historians and critics have dogged Armstrong for not saying the more dramatic and grammatically correct, ``One small step for a man ...'' in the version he transmitted to NASA's Mission Control. Without the missing ``a,'' Armstrong essentially said, ``One small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind.''
The famous astronaut has maintained he intended to say it properly and believes he did. Thanks to some high-tech sound-editing software, computer programmer Peter Shann Ford might have proved Armstrong right.
