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 FL) 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.
When he was a kid, he was playing baseball
with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball that landed in the front of his
neighbor's bedroom window. His neighbors were Mr. & 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!" |
