Famous Moon Landing Quote Scrutinized by Scientists

Native Ohioans' Speaking Patterns Help Scientists Decipher Famous Moon Landing Quote

May 30, 2013 — When Neil Armstrong took his first step on the Moon, he claimed he said, "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" -- but many listeners think he left out the "a." A team of speech scientists and psychologists from Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing and The Ohio State University (OSU) in Columbus is taking a novel approach to deciphering Armstrong's quote by studying how speakers from his native central Ohio pronounce "for" and "for a."
