Another thing about the 'One Small Step' misquote/missynced (is that a word) sound/video. Pete Conrad didn't help when he said as he jumped off the ladder 'That may have been a small one for Neil, but is was a long one for me!'. As rightly pointed out, Armstrong was only stepping off the footpad when he said his bit, hardly even a step. Conrad was jumping off the ladder. I say blame Pete Conrad. Still, it was a funny moment, part of a $500 bet I believe.

Another shortcoming of the fake clip is the reflections in the visor. This is something the HB's are always wetting themselves over, yet in the origional footage, the visor is dark. In this footage, it has a highlight, like it's being lit by a spotlight. Hmm.
