Did Neil Armstrong really say this lol?
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 neighbors 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?! Youll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
Answer: No, he didn't say it.

Did man really go to the moon?
My Grandparents never belived it and no one could convence them otherwise Im begining to think they were right I dont belive it either. I belive it was a consperacy I belive it was a lie all made up in a movie studio maybe to stop the cold war maybe to bring hope to Americans or maybe to pocket money that would have been used to really go to the moon and they thought it cheeper to pull the wool over our eyes. Who had to die to cover this up was it Kenedy was it anyone at all or was it many. If Nasa went to the moon why did they go and why havent they been back and why does the vidio of there supposed trip to the moon have so many holes in it like the flag vigourusly blowing in the wind theres no air on the moon theres no gravity who was the camera man wouldent he have been the first one to walk on the moon and not Armstrong. There is alot of questions about this event and not many answers. What do you think what is your opinion?
Some say we did not have that kind of technology back in the 60s I just dont think we went to the moon I dont think men have ever been past the International space station b/c of radiation they would perish so they have to send machines otherwise it would be a waste of money.

Gus Grissom instead of Neil Armstrong?
Now this is just a what if question and just treat it as so. I think if Gus Grissom didnt die on apollo 1 he would of been given the first shot at walking on the moon. I think they would of owed it to him, or just because he was one of the original mecury 7, who flew missions in each program. Anyone else think he same???
I was also watching a documentry,about Niel Armstrong training on the lunar module simulator, then it malfunctioned and he had to eject. Scary how close buzz aldrin or Jim Lovell came to beingthe first man to walk on the moon.
Sorry, just bored at work
Answer: I heard that Deke Slayton wanted Grissom to be the first man on the Moon, and he was responsible for the flight assignments, so it's certainly possible that Grissom would have been the first man on the Moon if he had lived. One of the other Mercury astronauts did get to walk on the Moon, at least. Alan Shepard was the first American in space; he was grounded during the Gemini program because of an inner-ear disorder, but he recovered and went on to command Apollo 14.
I've seen the film of Armstrong's training accident and it certainly is scary to me as a layperson, but Armstrong handled it very professionally -- he wasn't hurt, so he went back to his office to do some paperwork. After all, he was a former military test pilot and I don't think they scare very easily. This accident was mentioned in Armstrong's 60 Minutes interview; Ed Bradley commented on how Armstrong went back to work and said, "You were just almost killed!" Armstrong replied, "Well, but I wasn't."
