ⓘ One small step for a man, one giant leap forward for mankind Il s'agit des mots que prononça Neil Armstrong lorsqu'il devint le premier homme à marcher sur la Lune le 20 juillet 1969: "un petit pas pour l'homme, un pas de géant pour l'humanité". On utilise aujourd'hui cette formule en référence aux mots d'Armstrong pour mettre en contraste le caractère apparemment anodin d'un phénomène et l'ampleur de son effet, comme it's a small step for nanotechnology but a giant leap forward for computers ("c'est un petit pas pour la nanotechnologie mais un pas de géant pour les ordinateurs").
