| 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 up with several remarks to 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 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, 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.
Armstrong explained, "When I was a kid, I was playing
baseball with a friend in the backyard. My friend hit a fly ball that landed in the front
of his neighbor's bedroom windows. My neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As I leaned
down to pick up the ball, I 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!" |
