'One Small Step for a Man'
Wired News reports that “An Australian computer programmer says he found the missing “a” from [Neil] Armstrong’s famous first words from the moon in 1969, when the world heard the phrase, ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.'” He did indeed say “That’s one small step for a man” (emphasis mine)!
It's a small world
The Size Of Our World is a great visual comparison of Earth, the other bodies in our solar system and some stars within our galaxy.
