When
Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the
moon, he not
only gave his famous
"One
small step for man, one giant leap
for
mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks,
usual
com
traffic between him, the other astronauts, and Mission Control. Just
before he re-entered the lander, however,
he made the enigmatic remark
"Good
luck, Mr. Gorsky."
Many
people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some
rival Soviet
Cosmonaut.
However,
upon checking, there was no Gorsky
in either
the Russian or American space programs.
Over
the years many
people questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky"
statement
meant,
but Armstrong always just smiled.
On
July 5, 1995, 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 finally
died and so
Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question and this is
what
he revealed. When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.
His
friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his
neighbor's bedroom windows.
His
neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.
As
he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky.
"Oral
sex? You want oral sex? You'll get oral sex when the kid
next door
walks on the moon!"
