Original US Release
Neil Armstrong's Words Recorded

Brand new, still sealed in original plastic.

Recording of Walter Cronkite's coverage of this historic event.
CBS News Correspondent Walter Cronkite, whom Jack Gould of The News Times described as "a one man phenomenon in space coverage," reports the Epic Journey of Apollo 11 and recalls the history of the United States space program. Included are the dramatic and memorable words of astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. and Michael Collins. 

Fact: Walter Cronkite, who was narrating the start of the moon walk and actually talked over most of Armstrong’s original comment ("What did he say?" he then asked Wally Schirra) appears to have first published this erroneous version. Cronkite, and legions of authors who followed his lead, overlooked the fact that Armstrong had already descended from the ladder and was standing on the garbage-can-lid sized lunar module leg foot pad. The astronaut then moved his left foot gently over the rim and onto the moon dust, a true "small step" as he described it. Nevertheless, numerous video replays of the moon walk, including some by NASA itself, relaid the audio track to incorrectly make the "small step" comment follow the first jump off the ladder.
