For some reason they posted this on their social media account
AccuWeather must have picked this trick up from radio stations on Facebook. At least in the past a lot of them would make memes and throw their logo on it, I can only guess in the hopes people would see the logo even if they're downloading and sharing and not clicking the share button.
Was almost convinced they did a post-virality image edit on Reddit
But I think Google pulled a watermark-free version from the comments and of course when I tapped it Reddit showed me the OP version, watermarked
Fun fact, when recording the fake moon landing, Neil Armstrong was such a stickler for details that he refused to film it unless they filmed it on location.
Neil claimed, and I think we should believe him, that he said "a man" but the radio glitched.
The quote works either way. People just need to fuckin chill.
It "works" in that we know what he meant, but it literally doesn't work without the "a".
'Man' is often used in the same way as 'mankind' which is how I've usually seen the quote interpreted. Clearly the article 'a' makes a very big difference but it still makes sense.
Edit: preposition -> article cuz I'm dum

Yes, which is why without the "a" it doesn't work. "A small step for mankind, one giant leap for mankind" is nonsensical.
He was saying he (a man) was literally taking a step with his leg, but it was a figuratively large step for the species because of where/how he was taking that step.

"a" is an indefinite article, not a preposition. Prepositions are how a verb relates to an indirect object. "The bunny hopped over the fence, around a tree, and down a hole." The italicized words in this sentence are prepositions. In, on, at, near, etc.. You get the idea...
Anyway, the quote is kinda contradictory without the "a". Is it a small step or a giant leap? Oh, it's a giant leap for mankind, and a small step for a man. Makes so much sense now.
Thank you. I had a feeling I was wrong about that. Couldn't even think of the word article though so I assumed maybe it was a weird kind of preposition.
It suddenly makes so much more sense now...
Artemis II never landed on the moon. It was just a flyby. This makes it more equivalent to Apollo 10 and the famous exchange
Stafford: "Oh—who did it? ... Give me a napkin quick. There's a turd floating through the air".
Young: "I didn't do it. It ain't one of mine".
Cernan: "I don't think it's one of mine".
Stafford: "Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away".
Cernan (later): "Here's another goddam turd. What's the matter with you guys?"
Considering the continuing toilet problems on Arty 2, absolutely appropriate
Apollo 10; “Whose turd is this floating through the capsule? It’s not mine, mine wasn’t sticky.”
I heard something about the Artemis crew having waste disposal system issues too, but all I could find about it was a bunch of clickbaity YouTube videos and I refuse to watch those.
The fancy toilet got too cold, so the waste froze. They had to use heaters and even rotate the ship so the toilet was on the sunlit side to thaw it out.
Has MSFT extended their gaslighting to include:
Actually, a highly trained, educated, and capable NASA astronaut is just not using our product correctly.
???
It really is farsical the degree to which they act like you are just some kind of idiot if their horrendously designed software isn't immediately comprehensible and obvious to you.
You must have missed the part where they were talking about crater albedo and one of them said 6 7 (0.6-0.7) and the chat went wild. Definitely the most significant part of this whole thing.
All that computing power and all we got was slower software and a hallucinating chatbot.
At least I can game on Linux now, thats some real progress.
WTF is that ad in the top right of the meme?
I don't know what you could possibly be referring to.
Maybe the weather in your area is affecting your vision and you're seeing things, have you considered using AccuWeather to check the upcoming weather conditions in your area?
Don't know why they're called like that - the Accu definitely doesn't stand for accurate (where I live).
It stands for "accusation" you goddamn weather checking criminal
Your memes are still unsponsored? Poor fool.
Since when is the crappy weather app doing space/tec memes 😭
Ugh I hate that Neil biffed his line
As another poster mentioned, it's likely he said it correctly but the radio glitched/cut/whatever during that time and it cut a word. Neil stated that he said the line correctly.
Didn't NASA confirm a little while back that it was likely a transmission issue?
Edit: hmmm, maybe not
I could've sworn I read that some people did some research on the accent of folks from where he was from and the conclusion was that he did say "for a". Exaggerating it, if you say it like "fer a" then sort of slide from one to the other like "fera" and sort of drop a little enunciation off the end you basically end up with "fer". So to me, I think he said "for a" and that was his recollection as well, but either way the quote is basically entrenched as "for" so I don't really think it's worth trying to fight to correct people. Especially when the argument is so full of weird details, but if you just listen to the clip it sounds like he fucking just says "for" lmao.
I was thinking about a similar thing recently because I got a Star Wars question wrong in trivia. The question was what planet is cloud city on. I said Besbin but apparently it's Bespin. Without looking at the word in a subtitle or knowing what it is beforehand they sound exactly alike as far as I can tell.
I like to think he got choked up because of the magnitude of the event. I know I would.

The quote makes no sense without "a". It's always annoyed me that it's not added in, whether he said it or not!
It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn't even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between "man" as singular and "mankind" as collective should provide all of the context needed.
If I describe a scene of a story as "man goes to work," no one assumes I'm talking about the collective of humanity.
"Man goes to work" makes sense as a headline, but not as a statement. "Man" and "mankind" mean the same thing.
Got it, so one may only discuss serious topics man(kind) to man(kind).
for A man
Fuckin A man.
