Armstrong Liar

“That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
These lines are one of the most famous of 20 the century. It shows the great achievement if mankind in this world. One made its special place in the history of humanity and science. This line also was target of controversy and is again in discussion. It is now said that Neil Armstrong lied about the composition of this line.
These famous lines were uttered by Neil Armstrong when he landed on the lunar surface. Millions of people witnessed. When Neil Armstrong himself saw the recording he said that syllabal "a" was missing. And even people who saw him landing on moon had not heard that "a". It was later found that "a" had lost in process of transmission. This was the first time when this famous line was in news for an altogether different matter. Many scholars were discussing about the sentence and its meaning with and without the notorious "a".
          A series of news and rare interviews with his family broadcast on BBC. Two have revealed that Armstrong scripted his famous words several months before the launch. Now due to the statement people say that Armstrong is a liar.
          I don’t understand why media and people are making it such a big issue. Is it really worth discussion? They are saying the Armstrong is a liar, but by doing such discussion will the history change. He was the first man to land on moon and it will never change.
