Being this was historic and recorded, we know what the first words were and the exact times they were spoken from the lunar surface which are depicted in #25, regardless of what the public or anyone else thinks or believes.
What the public thinks generally lacks details and are inaccurate. It's that same public "thinking" which elected Obama, thinking he would somehow be a good leader.
“”The first word is still Houston to the public and always will be””
That is a fact, why keep posting things to me that I posted myself in post 19 which you keeping attacking?

The first word is still Houston to the public and always will be, and rightfully so, for instance no one is interested if he muttered something under his breath to himself out of habit, such as cool, or alright.
“We sought clarity from Bill Barry, NASA’s chief historian.
No luck: Barry told us that there are “a range of right answers.” He said “contact light” was one possibility because those words were uttered the moment that the module touched the surface of the moon.
“The next option,” he said, is the first word spoken after all four of the module’s foot pads came to rest on the moon. It’s not clear exactly when that happened, Barry said, but it probably occurred as the astronauts were running down their post-shutdown “checklist” — “like the one you do every day, but probably don’t say aloud, when you park your car.”
But Barry said that because the checklist was part of a long-rehearsed procedural script, he is “inclined toward saying that the first ‘intentional’ words spoken on the moon were Armstrong’s report to Houston that they had landed.”
