the words - and the contentious "a" as in 2) "a man" has been ignored (so far).
were to pre-empt the arguement about the "a man" which is not there on the audio and Armstrong has said he doesn't remember that accurately. And the recent documenary with astronauts that knew and worked with him put the script-writer as: one N Armstrong, and the sign on the hatch at the time of coinage was "Apollo 11".
