GUARANTEED
TO MAKE U SMILE.....
ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S 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,"
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 THOUGH
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 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
NEIGHBOR'S 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!"
