it has ZERO to do with the actual words of the mission from NASA
"you thought the MOVIE said Houston we have a problem, BUT the movie really says... 'Houston we've had a problem'"
reading comprehension goes a LONG way.

Armstrong said he said "a man" so that's what the transcript reads. Not too complicated.

based on what?
The audio has always said "man" not "a man."
your memory is faulty.

PROVE I'm wrong.
Listeners back on Earth heard, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." But Armstrong , who died at the age of 82 on Saturday (Aug. 25), maintained afterwards that he actually said something slightly different: "That's one small step for a man..."
"It's just that people just didn't hear [the 'a']," Neil Armstrong told the press after the Apollo 11 mission.
That little indefinite article makes a big difference, semantically speaking. Without it, "man" abstractly represents all of humanity, just like "mankind." Thus, the quote is essentially, ''That's one small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind."

The movie gets it wrong, it uses the pop culture misquote.

I just find it interesting. The man who said it, disputes the quotes attributed to him, and the only witness there with him, backs him up. Aldrin has agreed with what Armstrong has said many times.
