When astronaut Neil Armstrong uttered what became one of the best-known - and most debated - quotes in all of history, he actually might have said it exactly the way he meant to, not the way people heard it.

Editor's note: Watch AC360° at 8 and 10 p.m. ET tonight for expert analysis on the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the individual mandate requiring people to have health insurance.
