On this very day 39 years ago, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon.
Watching on grainy television sets 240,000 miles away, millions of spellbound people heard Armstrong proclaim, "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind."
Famously, Armstrong was supposed to say "one small step for a man," but blew his line in the the excitement of the moment -- and thank goodness, because the mistaken utterance couldn't have been more perfect.
