I am absolutely swamped with stuff here, no time to write, so I am posting this cute little story for you. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

On July 20, 1969, the first man walked on the moon.
When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong made those first footprints, he not only gave his famous, “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” statement but followed it by several remarks, usual com traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control.
Just before he re-entered the lander, 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!”

I’d heard this years ago.
Sounded like an Urban Legend and well… it is.
Albeit, a funny one.
Check out Mr. Gorsky
Very interesting what happens to relayed information over the years.

Pretty funny story. I wonder if that has anything to do with the space program targeting 2010 for a return to the moon.
And I thought that this was going to be about bare butts…..

Try googling “Good luck, Mr. Hubble”.
Oh, and a very Happy Birthday to you, Marti!
