GUARANTEED TO MAKE YOU 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 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 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!'
TRUE STORY.
Will be back Monday to harass.

Of course it was a joke. We've never been to the moon. The pics of the moon landing were shot at a studio at Area 51

If you do a fact check on snopes you will find they are WRONG 50% of the time.
