Neil Armstrong, astronaut during the first moon landing, has been accused of misspeaking his famous line, neglecting to say the letter "a" before "man." Critics say the quote was supposed to be: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." Without the "a," the phrase is unintelligible. However, computer programmer Peter Shann Ford found the missing "a" during an audio analysis. Armstrong did say it, but the syllable was lost to static.
