Neil Armstrong Lied About ‘One Small Step’ Line

Just what the 'Hollywood-staged-Moon-landing' conspiracy theorists needed to start their new year off right!

Just what the 'Hollywood-staged-Moon-landing' conspiracy theorists needed to start their new year off right!

You mean how the vacuum of space can't accept heat since it's an insulator so the A/C units on the astronauts suits wouldn't work? Or the fact that the suits were pressurized to 5 psi over the ambient pressure of 0 psi, making it impossible to move fingers to do dextrous work/experiments? Or maybe you mean the 'accident' NASA made of 'erasing' the original footage and having to go to Hollywood to 'put it back together?' Or you could be referring to all the shadow retouch done to pictures from the moon because the originals showed diffuse lighting (which can't happen without an atmosphere)? I don't think a comment by Neil Armstrong is necessary to punch serious holes in the 'standard' version

Can anyone explain why isn't the flag or the lunar module visible on any of the more than 5 scans of the moon, or from the earth surface, or from space…

There is plenty of technology available. Can you explain why isn't the flag or the lunar module visible on any of the more than 5 scans of the moon, or from the earth surface, or from space…

Must be a real slow news day….lol…pathetic.

WHat a NON STORY! This is a great man who justifes being prominent in the history books.LEAVE IT ALONE!

the flag the neil and buzz put on the moon was to close to the lunar module so when the took off it got blown over and more then likely got covered in dust along the way.

really? who cares… let's just try to destroy the image of another American hero.. does it really matter when he thought of it or if he left an "a" out of it. who cares… doesn't take away from the fact that he stepped on the moon. oh my goodness, anything to destroy an American Icon… wow, how sad…

I know the flag was planted to close to the lunar lander so when they lifted off from the surface it was blown down from the ascent engine gases. So the flag is lying down probably covered with lunar soil and that is why you can't see the flag. As far as why you can't see the descent stage, I have no idea. Maybe it has to do with the position of the sun/shadows when you try to view it? Sorry.

Please, leave him be….and the headline, he LIED? Really, come on! And you did too, he didn't take a shuttle…

who cares whether he said an "a" or not. He walked on the moon – that is what mattered.

I have only so many minutes left to live (as do all of us.) Why did I waste ANY of them reading this twaddle?

Of courrse it is, it is a holiday..

and this is what america has to worry about so this moron writes a story about it.

WHAT ON EARTH DOES IT MATTER WHAT HE SAID, HE LANDED ON THE MOON! iM SURPRISED HE WAS ABLE TO SAY A WORD AT SUCH A MOMENTOUS MOMENT!

It is a sad thing, when his own brother is the one that is supposedly the one saying it. Why would he say his brother lied, is beyond me.

Wow, Is this what news is going to be like in the new year?
Amazing progress!

Who cares if he did.

Really this is news what's the flippin difference?

What difference does it make?

Who really cares if he did or he didn't say it one way or the other. He did something that no one else had done and no one else will ever do…………..be the first man to set foot on the moon. He is still a NASA hero, in my eyes.

totally agree, Who cares and SO sad somebody actually got a byline for this nonsense. I thought he really "Lied" about something; like actually standing lol on the moon.

And then you decide to waste another 30 seconds typing about it? That's smart.

BFD! He was the first man to walk on the moon. Who cares what he said or intended to say. He is a real American hero and always will be. Who thinks up this crap to write about?

stupidity reignssupreme in articles like this what a poor excuse for a writer this man is.

this is news you should be ashamed of yourself…no wonder why your a freelance on the internet…leave that great man alone…

Does anyone really care is the "A" was left out or where or when or who thought it up?

That's one small story for a dog and one giant turd for a dogkind to eat.

REALLY! Who cares when he thought up the quote.

that's a lot of fuss about one letter but I don't understand how he had this speech ready when he was not suppose to be the first person to set foot on the moon. Buzz Aldrin was the man but because of the seating on the space ship and Buzz's suit not working properly Niel Armstrong had the honors so I do not think any thing is staged about it.

Wow, another American liar, what else is new?

This man was stepping out of a space ship onto the moon! It's amazing he could even speak.

Being the first man to step foot on the moon I think he has erned the right to "Lie" as this article puts it. Just think about how mind blowing awsume this must have been for him. Most of us would not remember what we had planned to say or what we even said. I for one would have been scared half to death.

and, the relevance of this story is? I don't care when he thought that line up… he walked on the moon, that's what counts!

What a bastard, calling your own brother a liar! An american icon, and his own brother calling him a liar, wow, how do we know this creatin is telling the truth? This chump is just trying to get his fifteen minutes by making a mockery of a great american feat.

Gotta be bullshit or it would have come out years ago! If he would have said that when Neil was alive he would have kicked his ass!

Sounds like Dean has some issues. Get help, buddy! There's no way you can tarnish the reputation of your brother with this catty remark.

Why worry about when he decided on the words – he landed on the moon – he's a great American hero – enough said.

Are you GD kidding me! they're going after one of our Nations' greatest heroes over the use of a single LETTER? WTF!

I DON'T BELIVE HE WALKED ON THE MOON.

OH FOR FUCK SAKES HE TOLD A WHITE-LIE BECAUSE HE PROBABLY REALIZED THAT MIGHT HAVE SOUNDED ARROGANT AND PRETENTIOUS. WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU SLANDERING THIS GOOD MAN'S NAME YOU FUCKING FUCK-HEADS!

Left handed 'reporters' have no integrity anymore, not that they ever did!

The difference is, he went to the moon and they didn't. We humans only put people on a pedestal to make it easier to throw rocks at them.

the moon landing never happened.. it was fake.

Its all in the wording and graphics on how the bought out bias media and government LIES persuades the masses to blindly follow!

Do you so-called journalist have nothing better to do than find fault with EVERYTHING American and what Americans' have accoumplished. You obviously know nothing about that generation of Hero's and Exporlers. The inquisiter needs to shut the hell up. Who ever wrote this needs to be FIRED Immediately, Leave this GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT ALONE to rest in peace…YOU JACKASS!

Thanks for the flash liberal media………

Yet another reason why most reporting/journalism in the USA completely sucks today. What a non story by even a more worthless writer/editor. You're idiots. Ridiculous!

there is never anything wrong with the truth. As much as it hurts. You've been enlightened, be happy.

I am sorry, but slandering peoples heroes is narcissistic and heartless. The media use to have tact, now all they care about is causing frenzy. This is another reason why I'd rather be ignorant of the news anymore.

OMG Then we should strip him of his title right away! Lol…

So?

Holy Cow…My kids are right…yahoo really does suck.

I'm sure there was a lot of anticipation and a lot of thought about the upcoming flight. Of course his mind was thinking if and of that moment. When does it matter that he thought that line… he thought that line. Maybe some people need to get a life and quit splitting hairs.

yourealizehowsillyyourpostisright?

SO What! Big Deal

Well of course the biggest lie is that the moon landing never actually happened. The whole "event" was created in a massive film studio in LA.

I agree, it is pathetic. At the most, he told a fib, not a lie. What a non story is right!

who really cares we need to worry about what are leaders (Yea Right they could not lead a horse to water) Are doing to this country.

Gee wiz, what in the world is the big deal. So….how does that slip actually change the meaning?

He could have said the F word for all I care. I would have said Holy S___ I just stepped on the moon.

Don't you all have something better to do with your lives?

So what? Why do you need to go out of your way to denigrate the memory of a great human being?

This story is about irrelavent as one about Kim Kardashian.

wow, so many angry people. No one is saying he isn't great, no one is saying he should be removed from history books… none of that. The author didn't write it, why are you tripping about something that was never said?

The point is, the famous line was not thought of "on the spot" ; it was planned. End of story. Stop running away with over-the-top emotional posts and think a bit.

don't believe this myself, i think they did land and a lot of the things that some ppl say couldn't happen on the mood has been proven could happen by myth busters lol

Obama and Hillary tell lies to cover up the deaths of our Ambassador and Seals in Benghazi but the press ignores their outrage lies , but creates a story "Amstrong lied" over the letter A. Irrevelant and who the hell cares you jerks.

The man Neil Armstrong has served his purpose while he was here on earth, and, in outer space, so, my question is, where do you "late brain farts" get off bringing up idiotic questions as to whether the man lied or not on such a elementary topic. Whom ever wrote this article, your grey noodles needs to do a bit more forming and maturing, before you can even began to subscribe any sorts of editorical articles for the public to read. "Happy New Year"!

Big deal

there is never anything wrong with the truth. As much as it hurts. You've been enlightened, be happy. As for the other nonsense like destroying an American icon, etc – those are your words, not the authors'. Take a chillpill.

First Lance, now Neil. When are these Armstrong boys going to stop all this malarkey! Happy 2013.

Big deal.

Um. Okay. So what?

That's one of the smallest lies in the history. look for something more newsworthy elsewhere!

to whoever wrote this: are you that desperate for a topic, can't you find ANYTHING better to write about? I'm from Wapakoneta, Oh where Neil grew up. My dad put together his homecoming parade there. Neil is a good decent man. I'm quite sure something this trivial had no malicious intent. Get over it.

I think he lied about landing on the moon it was all staged in the studio's. and think about this why have we never went back.

And why would his brother give him up after he dies? You can't even trust your own family!

He should be buried in The Chechen Republic, lying to us like that…

. Hey Democrats! Coast to Coast listeners know what this is all about. shame on you.

Terrorists such as your news agency are not well liked by those of us who have no insults for a task that your feeble minds can not even begin to comprehend. When your uneducated brains can learn how we are to appreciate a great accomplishment, you might stop throwing bombs at things that should be left alone. Until that time, you will only by hurting those who have set great examples. But then too, this might explain why you do not follow the word of our Lord. Because if you did, you just might accomplish one small step for mankind.

This correction is immaterial and distracting; the journalists were just eating up type space on a slow news day, like a sophomore who scribbles an essay about yesterday's food and the "impoverishment of modern food aid" an hour before class.

Not only is this not a very relevant story, it's full of errors. Neil's brother initially is identified as Neil rather than Dean. Plus, throughout the artice, the writer goes back an forth between whether Neil said he thought of the line a few hours before landing or after he landed but a few hours before stepping on the moon.

Maybe another reporter can write a story about why anyone gives a rip. There is so much going on in this world that to dwell on this is just pathetic and un-needed.

Come on! Do u really think anyone has ever been on the Moon?

Whether he included "a" ahead of "man", which is plausible and really adds more intrigue to the quote or not…to say he lied is irresponsible. Garbled tapes or not, don't tarnish the event with a nonsense such as this. He can't even defend his quote anymore. RIP Mr. Armstrong, a true hero.

Who..cares? Great story.

Does anyone actually care?

Petty.

Petty.

The man walked on the moon. You didn't.. Shut up.

There always has to be something. Leave Neil Armstrong's legacy in peace. These people today.

that's not all he lied about. He never landed on the moon, period.

that's not all he lied about. He never landed on the moon, period.

This is not enlightening, just annoying.

HEY I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT" MY BUTT ITCHES SHOULD I SCRATCH IT" OR WAS THAT LAST YEAR? WHO CARES WHEN HE THOUGHT ABOUT IT! SLOW DAY AT YAHOO!

People actually get paid to write stories like this? Why try to rain on this part of "History"? Agree Leave it ALONE — non story and NON Issue! This story is beyond pathetic and a wasted "read"!

we have bigger problems in this country. why don't they try to help that.

Neil Armstrong is a HERO, and May He Rest in Peace–God Bless Neil Armstrong-
Cannot this moronic Yahoo find something more "Interesting" to write about? Something like "JLo's New Year's Eve/Halloween Costume" or some "PROMINANT" Actress whom is NOT at all Racist of course, adopting some poor child from Senegal, or Moldova? OR some Actor/actress whom makes their Living in Stupid Movies that are about Mass Killings and Violence; and on their otherside, want to Impose Gun Control on me? Something really NORMAL that Yahoo usualy engages in. I am going to(Hopefully) find some NORMAL Webuser that is not so insane as Yahoo. Find one, please?

That doesn't even romotely compare to the Neal Armstrong cover-up that the media and NASA doesn't want anyone to talk about. Read about it here: http://home.bluemarble.net/~heartcom/inthebeginning.html.

okay. so he was really canadian and not american….."A"?

okay. so he was really canadian and not american….."A"?

Non story is right! It was so poorly written and irrelevant that I couldn't understand it. Just terrible…and petty.

Who the hell cares? It's a great quote. What is the fuss? I don't get it.

And this news why? Oops I'm missing "is" lets write and article about it.

so what?

So funny! Everything we have been told about history and religion has been a lie, yet we keep on going with it. The EARTH is flat like most of the articles here.

Zzzzzzz This changes nothing. Neil Armstrong has still accomplished amazing things during his lifetime and is an American hero/icon. If a missing letter is the biggest dirt on him then I need an explanation as to why this is news.

this is not news. This oversight was admitted to a while back. But what was said was better- and it is a non story then and is a non story now.

Who the fuck cares! I was told that George Washington never told a lie in his life in grammar school! I knew that was a lie when I was 7 years old… but when it comes to modern history… it seems that his brother was jealous to even tell anyone the B.S. story. I will never read another story from this site again and that's no lie!

OMG….who cares….like really!

So what? That's just one small lie for man…

I find it amazing how quickly the vultures come out to tear you down AFTER you die, rather than challenge you while you're still alive and able to beat that ass.

The evil person who wrote the article and other people in the media of today are trying to destroy another American hero. Just read the headline. Neil Armstrong "lied". And how do we know, "Dean Armstrong got it right. He is very old now. He might even have his facts wrong. Anyways, Neil Armstrong is famous for being the first man to walk on the Moon not for uttering the first words after he landed on the Moon.

sloooooooowwwwwww new years.

Oh, for Christ's sake. Don't we have anything else to think about than whether a guy put in the "a," or when he though of it? How about preventing mass shooting tragedies? The "fiscal cliff"? JHC on a popsicle stick!

And why is that a story after all these years. E

Survey says….WHO CARES?

Survey says….WHO CARES?

When are we going to read more stories about the low, hypocritical lives of news writers, journalists and other empty–headed media people?

What an idiotic and mean spirited story! Neil is famous for landing on the Moon –not for saying a few words after he landed on the Moon. The writer is trying to discredit one of our greatest American heroes. Shame on him!

One small line one giant crappy story! when a story breaks the media is in such a hurry to get it out to the public they get it all goofed up,,,

Really? Wow, you are going to wait until a legend dies to insult him in this way? This article was poorly written, and I find it just terrible. Neil Armstrong was a great man, who really gives a shit WHEN he thought up this line?

Much ado about nothing.

dumb

That's not the only lie.

This makes me feel I can easily do this writer's job. How about a story about how WTC 7 falls at near free fall. I got one.

really! he was a bad ass!

Who the fuck cares about a missing "a"?

Grr! We always try to make someone look like a liar instead of seeing the other great things he did – all because of the letter 'A' I feel sorry for mankind.

Shame on you for this reporting. We're any of you even alive when this Man made this historic journey? The Man is an Icon in my eye's as well as millions more (excuse me, I meant to say "A" million more)!

Your talking about one of our nations hero's let it alone let him RIP he made history kids look up to this great man don't destroy the legend.If you want to WRITE SOMETHING BAD ABOUTsomebody pick out someone WHO IS DESTROYING ALL OUR RIGHTS.

Why does it even matter? Man without an "a" still implies the same thing. He walked on the moon, so he can say whatever he wants.

Way to go media! Bad mouthing a hero at a pivotal moment in world history and in the next article they'll be sucking up to the Kardashians.

The quote doesn't change anything, Neil Armstrong will be remembered as a great man in world history!

Poor Excuse for a News Story.
A Headline accusing him as a Liar.
Are the Real Writers coming back after the Holiday?

"According to Armstrong’s brother Neil, the astronaut told the truth…" Where's the editor? "This is my brother, Darrel an' my other brother, Darrel." C'mon, get with it!

That's not a lie, that's public knowledge.

Does anyone really care? if you had told us it was filmed in the Nevada desert, we might be interested. REAL reporting people please!

I THINK THERE IS MORE IMPORTANT NEWS TODAY, I DON'T CARE THAT NEIL ARMSTRONG LEFT THE "A" OUT OF A SPEECH HE THOUGHT OF OVER FORTY YEARS AGO.

the bigger question is did he say Good luck Mr Gorsky where ever you are!

Wow….I cant believe I just wasted 4 minutes of my life reading this story.

For fuck's sake.. all of the problem's we have in the world and this is what people choose to report on a dead man who is and will always be a hero trying to slander him for something insignificant? This my friends is why our world is going to shit no priorities.Did it ever occur to any of these people that they are only feeding the problem? That this is what the gov and half the time the intent of news organizations? They want to create a culture People who would rather hear anything about a celebrity or some random shit than something that actually matters. That's how our so called representatives get away with robbing us everyday people just don't care anymore but they eat this stupid shit up. Now don't get me wrong there are intelligent people out there who know what's going on they are just out numbered in a horde of ignoramuses. I mean what's it say about and this just applies to the U.S. A country that will let the government destroy their bill of rights in legislation and only a few people give a shit. Then youtube or the internet is threatened and millions including big corporations get behind stopping it? Priorities people seriously we need better priorities as a people. That's one small step backwards for man and one GIANT leap for stupidity.

They must have monkeys coming up with news nowadays because this was irrelevant the guy just died how you gone say he lied

Do you flackin' idiots who produced this story have nothing better to do? The media is compsed of a bunch of clowns; what a bunch of clowns!

hey dont forget to hit me up sometimes happy new years bro

This changes EVERYTHING…. not!

Lie? Really? Your rag is anything but inquisitive. Pathetic and cynical on your part.

Kind of loose with the "L" word here Mr Dan Evon. Headline couldn't be: "More Details on Arstrong's Landing Statement to the World"? No, that would not draw very many to the story, would it? Was he totally honest on about when his statement was formed in his mind? Okay, no but you know this headline will get those NASA skeptics stirred up and everthing from the mission was totally fake(filmed in Arizona?) to he was on the moon dancing around for hours before he transmitted the landing statement or he made it before he stepped down, thoughts as these abound. Another leap by The Inquisitr for mankind.

Neil Ar(m)srong.

Armstrong.

Sounds more like a misrepresentation than a lie. I can't blame him for not wanting to field a gazillion questions from the media.

And this was worthy of an article? They must must not have heard of the shenanigans going on in DC.

Neil Armstrong is perhaps the most permanently historic person of the 20th and 21st century and after his death he is called a liar! Absolutely classless!

I'm so worried about this I can't sleep.

Really now? What makes somebody want to write something about absolutely NOTHING?

This just in from the press… "Neil Armstrong lied about a trivial part in his speech, and NOBODY CARES!"

I don't think that is considered a "lie" it's a mistake, a small "boo-boo." You want a LIE? Try your typical politicians — they LIE all the time!

"Neil Armstrong Lied"? You dumb SOBs at the inquistor should lose your hack license. What the hell is the point of a story that calls a national hero a liar? Evidently you are jealous that you didn't have the balls to do anything like this man did. Gotta get this hot story online NOW.. You bunch of idiots.

A non story.

And this is news for what reason? Just another article that the news media has blown out of proportion and this isn't even news worthy.

MOON LANDING WAS A HOAX! LOOK IT UP AND DO YOUR RESEARCH. SPEND TEN MINUTES WATCHING FOOTAGE. THE UNITED STATES AND NASA DO NOT WANT YOU TO SEE THIS http://youtu.be/yo5w0pm24ic.
