GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the
moon, he not only said his famous "One Small Step for Man, One Giant Leap
for Mankind" statement, but followed it by several remarks -
usual traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission
Control. Before he re-entered the lander, 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 nor American space programs.
Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the
"Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant.
On July 5, in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a
speech, a reporter brought up the 26 year old question to
Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and
so Armstrong felt he could answer the question:
"When I was a kid, I was playing baseball with my brother in the
backyard. He had hit a fly ball which landed in front of my
neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As
I leaned down to pick up the ball, I 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!"
True fact.
