Moon Walk Trivia - The Orange Mane

baja · 06-21-2012, 06:16 PM

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW, THIS IS A LITTLE TIDBIT OF TRIVIA.
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 WERE,
"THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR MANKIND,"
AND THEY WERE TELEVISED TO EARTH.

BUT JUST BEFORE HE RE-ENTERED THE LANDER, HE MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK,
"GOOD LUCK, MR.GORSKY".

MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGHT THAT 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 THAT HE COULD NOW
ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IN 1938, WHEN HE WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID WESTERN TOWN ,
HE WAS PLAYING BASEBALL WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACK YARD.

HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOR'S YARD BY THEIR BEDROOM WINDOW.
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......IT BROKE THE PLACE UP!

I got that in an email with the caps. Damned if I was going to retype all that.

houghtam · 06-21-2012, 06:35 PM

I think the moral of the story is that Neil Armstrong sucked as a pitcher.

Is there an actual interview "link" to that story being valid? I would hate to forward it on, on "Baja" alone

Nope no link.

My suggestion, if you don't like (or trust) my threads don't open them.

That's what I thought.

I don't get all the back biting.

This place seems to have lost it's sense of humor.

It's a great story, nuff said.

Still a funny story.

Gene Kranz still approves.

broncocalijohn · 06-21-2012, 11:16 PM

Well, Baja is a ****ing liar. Funny liar but still a ****ing liar.

Before you attack me Baja, I thought this thread was about the origin of the "moon walk" dance since it is coming up on Michael Jackson's 2nd (or 3rd year) death day. Boy, I am disappointed.

Isn't it just like you to turn a simple feel good thread into moral judgment.

I never said if it was true or false because It didn't matter. There was a day when a good story was just a good story.

Glad I don't live in your world of judgment. You must not have much fun.

Kaylore · 06-21-2012, 11:36 PM

Most people (including me) enjoyed the joke, Baja. I don't think "everyone" is bent out of shape about it. Just ignore those who didn't like it. You can't please everyone.

True that

But a fellow gets tired of being called a lier, traitor, coward and all the other crap I get here from a select few. Just sayin.

BlueCrusher · 06-22-2012, 07:53 AM

Funny story regardless. Have to admit I thought it was about MJ too...

Not too good as coach of the Bears, either.

Lots of people enjoyed the story.

The fact that you did not suggests you are a humorless anti American.

Note; this post has about as much value as yours does.

Try the ignore feature. You will never be subjected to another post from be.

TheElusiveKyleOrton · 06-22-2012, 09:19 AM

So choosing to make fun of you makes Shananahan "anti-American"?

That's... retarded.

Do you suppose that is why I said my post was as ridiculous as his?

I'd say yours was more ridiculous, but let's not split hairs.
