Incredible bravery, America has lost a hero. I was a kid when it happened, remember watching it on TV, then going outside a minute after they landed. There wasn't a soul anywhere on the street. Rest in Peace Neil.

Anyone remember this "story"?

"Good Luck Mr. Gorsky"


Neil Armstrong Wishing A "Mr. Gorsky" Good Luck from the Moon


www.truthorfiction.com...

On July 20, 1969, 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 a 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 and 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 a fly 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!"


LOL funny!

Actually, I was 15 on July 20, 1969, driving to Myrtle Beach with my family for vacation. We heard it on the car radio. Very exciting, it was :-)

Ha ha brilliant. If that is true that is absolute jokes.

I wonder if they were both still alive to see through on that promise? There must have been a massive glint in the old man's eye when Armstrong set foot on the moon, and a sigh and shake of the head by the wife.

Explantion: S&F!

I was born 3rd sept 1972 ... just a few months before the very last mission to the moon was carried out. It is now just a few weeks before my 40th birthday.

Today has been one of the hardest I have ever had to endure and it was nothing anywhere near the stress that Neil and his 2 team mates had to endure when they went on that lofty mission, faked or not, either way ok!

I made a promise to my fellow members in ATS chat that I would NOT try debunk his death today!

I shall keep my word ... as Mr Neil Armstrong kept his word.

In these trying times maybe that is all that counts now ... but I notice also that the Count of Sesame Street also passed away and maybe that is just an omen that nothing of worth counts anymore.

However, just like Neil ... regardless, I shall strive to reach out to the stars and maybe in the warmth of their gentle atomic glows I can reflect and shine a little light of my own to show the way ...

I noticed somebody posted a picture of the timeless immemorial 1st footprint on the moon ... and it is timeless and so is he!

Here is my personally choosen music tribute to Mr Rocketman!
