(FILES) View of an astronaut's footprint on the moon. Apollo XI astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin were launched 16 July 1969 from cape Kennedy, Florida, on a flight to the moon during which Armstrong and Aldrin became the first men in history to walk on the moon's surface. An Australian researcher using high-tech software has found the tiny missing article in Neil Armstrong's declaration as he became the first human to step onto the moon's surface. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," said Armstrong on July 20, 1969, in a transmission heard around the world 240,000 miles (386,232 kilometers) away. But Armstrong always insisted he had intended to say "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" and he and NASA believed that he had. Sydney researcher Peter Shann Ford says he has the technological proof that Armstrong said the critical "a" that gives the true meaning of humankind's first words on a heavenly body.
