Lorsque Neil Armstrong a posé le pied sur la lune pour la première fois en 1969, tout le monde connaît sa phrase célèbre, mais il y a eu un débat sur ce qu'il a réellement dit. La plupart des gens entendent : "C'est un petit pas pour l'homme, un bond de géant pour l'humanité." Mais Armstrong a insisté qu'il a dit : "C'est un petit pas pour un homme," ce qui a plus de sens, puisque "l'homme" et "l'humanité" sont à peu près la même chose. La partie délicate est que l'audio de l'alunissage était un peu flou, et ce minuscule "un" a peut-être été perdu dans le statique. Certaines personnes ont même analysé les enregistrements et pensent qu'il l'a vraiment dit ! Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est toujours l'une des phrases les plus célèbres de l'histoire.

00:00It's a small step for a man, a giant leap for humanity, and one of the most famous quotes of all time.
00:13But is this really what Neil Armstrong said on July 20, 1969, when he set foot on the moon for the first time in the history of humanity?
00:23It seems that it is both true and false.
00:27Thousands of people on Earth who followed the historic event live, heard the sentence without a small detail.
00:36It's a small step for a man, a giant leap for humanity, and one of the most famous quotes of all time in the history of humanity.
00:41Article 1 defines 1. There is no small detail when it comes to grammar.
00:46And the absence of 1 slightly changed the meaning of the whole sentence.
00:51Since man and humanity became synonyms in this case,
00:55it essentially meant, it's a small step for humanity, a giant leap for humanity.
01:02Neil Armstrong himself declared to the press after the Apollo 11 mission,
01:07that there was a 1 there, but that people had simply not heard it.
01:1230 years later, on the anniversary of the event,
01:15Armstrong still did not hear the article while listening to the recording of this famous broadcast.
01:20He explained that he was not the most eloquent person and that he left out many syllables.
01:26It may therefore be a muted sound and the vocal microphone simply could not capture it.
01:31But he insisted that 1 had been intended, because without it, the statement would not have made sense.
01:41In 2006, a computer programmer supported Armstrong's words with a little digital magic.
01:48He made the audio go through a software that isolates nerve impulses and saw them in the form of graphic sound waves.
01:56It became obvious that there was a sound of 35 milliseconds between for and man.
02:02It was too short for other humans to hear it, but Neil had clearly left room for a 1.
02:09Several years later, the University of the State of Ohio
02:13studied the habits of speech of the inhabitants of the center of Ohio, like the first man on the moon,
02:18and noticed that they often omitted words like for and one.
02:23In a BBC documentary, Armstrong's cadet brother, Dean,
02:27mentioned that he had seen the quote written on a piece of paper months before the mission.
02:32Whether it really happened or not remains a mystery because he had never mentioned it before the documentary.
02:39As with many famous quotes, people have tried to find a certain symbolism behind Armstrong's words.
02:45One of his biographers suggested that the quote was inspired by the astronaut's love for the books of G.R.R. Tolkien.
02:53There was a similar sentence in The Hobbit,
02:56Not a big leap for a man, but a leap into the dark.
03:00He discovered this connection because Armstrong had an email address on Tolkien in the 90s,
03:06and after his retirement from NASA, he moved with his family to a farm called Rivendell.
03:12It was also the name of a valley and the residence of Elrond,
03:16the half-man, half-elf of the Lord of the Rings.
03:19Armstrong himself denied this connection because he had not read any of Tolkien's books
03:24before leaving on Apollo 11 to the moon.
03:28Others believe that the quote was based on NASA's service note.
03:33Going to the moon was not a health walk.
03:36It was therefore important that the first person on site pronounce emblematic words
03:40on the fact that it was a historic advance for all of humanity.
03:44Once again, the astronaut denied having received any service note.
03:49He then shared that it was simply the most logical and correct thing to say.
03:55Armstrong literally had to go a long way to make this legendary step.
04:00He took his first flight at the age of 6 in a Ford Trimotor with his father,
04:05and it was at that moment that he fell in love with aviation.
04:09He was an active scout and got the highest rank possible, Eagle Scout.
04:15For his 16th anniversary, he became a patent student pilot before obtaining his driving license.
04:21He then continued to study aeronautical engineering.
04:26His program included two years of university studies at Purdue University,
04:31followed by two years of flight training and a year of service as an aviator,
04:35before returning to finish his last two years.
04:38During his stay at Purdue, Armstrong joined a fraternity and wrote
04:43and directed a musical comedy for the school's varsity variety show.
04:47He invested so much effort in his version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
04:51that he obtained a C this semester in psychology for engineers,
04:54a C in aeronautical vibration and a D in electrical engineering.
04:59During his aviation service, Armstrong had to eject himself from the plane above the water.
05:04The winds brought his parachute back to the ground.
05:07While he thought it was over, his friend from the piloting school in a service vehicle
05:13came to pick him up and saved his life.
05:15Armstrong returned to Purdue, finished his diploma, got married for the first time,
05:20and became a civilian research pilot right after.
05:23The couple moved to California, and every time they flew over their house,
05:27Neil bent his wings so that his wife and son on the ground knew it was him.
05:32He accumulated more than 1,100 hours of flight by testing various supersonic aircraft
05:37and the X-15 rocket glider.
05:42He could not apply when the Air Force recruited for the Man in Space Soonest program
05:47for the first time in 1958, because they did not accept civilian test pilots.
05:53In April 1962, NASA again accepted applications for the Gemini project,
05:59and this time he was eligible.
06:02Neil resubmitted his application after the deadline.
06:05So it was thanks to a flight simulator that knew him
06:09and slipped the application into the battery that he entered into the space program.
06:14At the time, he was not considered the number one pilot of NASA
06:18and was flying as an additional crew member.
06:21In 1966, Armstrong became the first American civilian in space,
06:26and with David Scott, they succeeded in the first manual space landing maneuver.
06:31And that's when things went wrong.
06:34After the landing, a rocket thruster had a failure
06:37and the spaceship began to rotate uncontrollably.
06:41They had to separate from the agena.
06:43Armstrong took control of the Gemini spacecraft
06:46and they managed to carry out an epic emergency landing in the Pacific Ocean.
06:52So it was time to choose who would become the first human on the moon.
06:57It had to be a civilian, and the NASA decision-makers chose Armstrong for this honor.
07:04Some thought it was because he had a pleasant personality,
07:07a calm confidence, and that he worked hard to reach the stars.
07:11Literally.
07:13To prepare the astronauts for the landing of the lunar module
07:16and the reduced gravity they were going to experience,
07:19NASA ordered the construction of training vehicles.
07:24At the beginning of May 1968, at only 30 meters from the ground,
07:29Armstrong's vehicle began to roll out of control.
07:34He had to act quickly and eject to save himself.
07:38A further analysis proved that if he had done it only half a second later,
07:42it would have been his last moments.
07:46On July 16, 1969, Armstrong, along with the other members of the mission, took off for the moon.
07:53NASA built the Saturn V, the most powerful rocket ever successfully flown, to take them there.
08:01It was as high as a 36-story building.
08:06Four days later, they reached their goal.
08:09After spending 21 hours and 36 minutes there,
08:12leaving their footprints that are still visible at the surface of the moon,
08:16collecting surface samples, taking photos and testing scientific instruments,
08:21they landed on Earth.
08:24Armstrong did not appreciate the public's attention as much.
08:27So he decided to embark on a teaching career.
08:30He became famous all over the world,
08:33but he still had to work hard to defend his master's thesis at the University of South California.
08:39He then retired from NASA and returned to Ohio with his family,
08:43where he taught for the next eight years.
08:46He did not completely cut ties with NASA and worked with them on several commissions,
08:51helping with the investigations on the Apollo 13 failure and the tragic incident of the Challenger space shuttle.
08:59In 1985, Armstrong traveled to the North Pole with a group of explorers.
09:05It was quite logical that they want to see him not only from space, but also from the ground.
09:12For his great step for humanity, Armstrong received the Presidential Medal of Freedom,
09:17the Space Medal of the Congress and the Golden Medal of the Congress.
