Talk:Neil Armstrong

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American person who flew on rockets and aeronautical engineer who in 1969 became the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. Epsmlewis01 (talk) 20:42, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. I'm assuming this is a joke, but we're obviously not going to replace the text 'astronaut" with "person who flew on rockets". TJRC (talk) 23:05, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

The first line should instead read as:

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who in 1969 became the first man to walk on the Moon.

"man" should be used instead of "person" as that was the period usage of the term. Ergzay (talk) 11:23, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Change famous sentence to : "That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

The first source seems to say that the "a" part was not said by Neil, but the Nasa source says otherwhise :

At 10:56 p.m. EDT Armstrong is ready to plant the first human foot on another world. With more than half a billion people watching on television, he climbs down the ladder and proclaims: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”

I think the version of NASA makes more sense. Thanks. Elentirwiki (talk) 15:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Y Changed to "one small step for [a] man" as in the body. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:00, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

@Michael Bednarek: there wouldn't be any way for someone to know what the reference/meaning of this part of the statement is without the note - unless they are medical professionals/have had experience personally of the problem. (𒌋*𓆏)𓆭 00:24, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

I suspect you're referring to my reversal of your edit here. I noticed your edit because it removed a file name (a rather famous one) from a {{Listen}} template. It also introduced a new "Notes" section, misplacing it after "References" instead of before. Those were the "other careless flaws" in my edit summary. To your point: I doubt that the comment, "Skin discoloration is caused by change in the proportion of deoxyhaemoglobin (blue-pigment):oxyhaemoglobin (red-pigment); known clinically as hypoxia causing cyanosis (missing a full stop here) with the malformed citation

would leave readers any wiser – it doesn't require a medical degree to understand what "tuning blue" means. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:12, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

Yes. Start by reading the article. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:05, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

And after you've done that, read some of the sources cited in the article. There's a lot of material out there... AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:10, 5 February 2026 (UTC)

We should change "Children:3" to the names of Neil's children.
