Legendary story:

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, 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, however, 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, FL) 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.

When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky.

As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong 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!"

what annoys me is this. if they did it 40 years ago, why don't they do it again?

surely it must be a simple task compared to 4o years ago

1) There's no point
2) They've a better understanding of the risks involved

It would be easier to go to the moon than to fake a landing?

Fake a landing which 1,000's of people knew about but never said and the soviets never caught a sniff of this super massive cover up .

For what its worth, I was over in NASA a few months ago in Houston and according to what the tour guides said the plan is to go back to the moon within the next 10-12 years and Mars 10 years following that. Apparently the soil/rock on the moon is rich in some compound that can be used for energy (He3 ) so now that we've done a good job of raping our planet of its natural resources we can start using our moon.

Plans to build an Irish pub on the moon have been scrapped - they reckon it will have no atmosphere. Boom Boom! I thank you ladies and gentlemen. You've been a great audience
