An Australian computer programmer says he found the missing "a" from Armstrong's famous first words from the moon, when the world heard the phrase, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Photo was made by a 16mm movie camera inside the lunar module, shooting at one frame per second. (AP Photo/NASA)
