Neil Armstrong piloted the lunar module to the moon’s surface on July 20, 1969. A story in Sunday’s A-section named the wrong person.
A story in Tuesday’s Observer about Statesville native Tom Marshburn’s first spacewalk misquoted the words of Neil Armstrong when he stepped onto the moon in 1969. Armstrong said: "That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind." Also, Marshburn’s name was misspelled in a caption.
A photo caption incorrectly identified the astronauts meeting with President Obama. They were from left Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong.
Michael Collins stayed aboard the command module in orbit around the moon while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and walked on the moon. An story on Page C1 of Sunday’s Journal Star incorrectly stated Collins’ role in the first moonwalk 40 years ago.
A story on Monday’s Page A6 about UW-Madison research on moon rocks correctly noted that Harrison "Jack" Schmitt was the last man to set foot on the moon. Schmitt followed fellow astronaut Eugene "Gene" Cernan onto the surface during the 1972 Apollo 17 mission. When the pair left, however, Schmitt stepped onto the Apollo Lunar Module first, making Cernan the last man to leave the moon.
An article on Tuesday about people who believe that the Moon landing was a hoax referred incorrectly to a picture in a feature on the Lens blog at nytimes.com. As correctly noted in the feature, ”Dateline: Space,” the photograph of an astronaut standing on the surface of the Moon shows Buzz Aldrin — not Neil Armstrong. (Mr. Armstrong took the picture.)
And, of course, there are also these two related corrections from the Times.
Bob Fredrick, a clinical social worker and therapist in Atlanta, is not a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. A story in the Sunday Living section had incorrect information, including a misspelling of his name.
A news brief in Saturday’s Metro section about charges in an infant’s death was a report mistakenly reprinted from that date a year ago. 
An article in Thursday’s national news section incorrectly represented the circumstances surrounding the departure of the Wasilla, Alaska, town librarian when Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was Wasilla’s mayor. Palin twice asked for and received letters of resignation from the librarian. Both times, she rehired the librarian, who later resigned on her own. 
In a story Sept. 12, The Associated Press reported that Wasilla resident Anne Kilkenny described GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s inquiry into removing books from the collection of her hometown library as “out-and-out censorship.” The citation should have included the word “attempt.” Kilkenny’s e-mail during Palin’s first term as mayor described the actions as an “attempt at out-and-out censorship.”
Cafe Misto, a restaurant in Canton, is closed. It was listed in the July 3 Northwest section under Restaurants In Your Area.
The headline on a brief that appeared in some editions of Thursday’s Metro section should have described John and Liz Calvert as missing, not dead. 
In a photo caption in Thursday’s @issue section with a letter to the editor, Bennie Allen (who was pictured) was incorrectly described as the mastermind in the case involving the so-called Barbie Bandits. Michael Darrell Chastang, who received a 10 year prison sentence, was the actual mastermind. Allen received a five year sentence and five years of probation. 
Army Gen. Russel Honore made his comments about torture tactics to a reporter Friday. Honore, who addressed the reporter after speaking to middle school students at Fayette County’s Flat Rock Middle School Friday, did not discuss this issue with the students. He addressed them about the importance of education and consistently making the right choices. A story in Saturday’s Metro section should have made that clearer.
