On July 20, 1969, commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstro
ng was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words after
stepping on the moon, "That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap
for mankind", were televised to Earth and heard by millions. But just b
efore he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark:
"Good
luck, Mr. Gorsky." Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark c
oncerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, there wa
s no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the
years many people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Go
rsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 199
5, in Tampa Bay, Florida, while answering questions following a speech,
a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to Armstrong. This time
he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died and so Neil Armstrong felt h
e could answer the question.
In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Mi
dwest town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His
friend hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor’s yard by the bedro
om windows. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.
As he leaned dow
n to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr
. Gorsky. "Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!" |
