The 40th Anniversary of a Lesson in Article Usage

I was a space nut for most of my childhood, but the famous quote always confused me:

One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

And then I learned that there was supposed to be an “a” before “man”.

I still harbor a secret love for space food, especially the freeze-dried ice cream. Yeah, you pay $4 for something that feels like styrofoam and tastes like cardboard but…it’s space food!

    Oh My! I used to always buy astronaut ice cream from the Science Center when I was a kid (and whenever I go now, actually)

    I really enjoy your blog.
