Is it really so, or perhaps the other way around?
It seems to me that while it was a giant leap for a man to get to stand on the moon, mankind hasn’t changed that much.

July 22, 2019 8:24 am at 8:24 am #1762408HaLeiViParticipantThe contrast to mankind makes his intention clear. My question is assuming he meant ‘a man’, and I think it’s the other way around.
July 22, 2019 9:28 am at 9:28 am #1762485chizuk1ParticipantIt was a small step for Neil Armstrong (“a man”) to step from the lunar lander to the moon.
It was a giant leap for mankind, as the idea of any human landing on another celestial surface was unimaginable before, and a giant leap in innovation and technology. (Much of the technology we rely on in 2019 was a result of the massive scientific breakthroughs needed to make this happen).
