GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU SMILE
ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS A TRUE STORY
On July 20, 1969 as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, NEIL ARMSTRONG was the first person to set foot on the moon, his first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
Those words were televised to earth and heard by millions.
But just before he reentered 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 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 5th, 1995, in Tampa Bay, Florida , while Armstrong questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question to Armstrong.
This time he finally responded. Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Midwest Town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbors yard by the 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. "SEX! YOU WANT SEX?! You'll get Sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
