Astronaut joke

Hei

That was recently on chat TV here in Finland:

A Swede says: I just visited Houston and met a man who has walked on the moon.
A Finn said: That´s nothing. I have lain in the sun.

This one requires someone to feed you the straight line, but it cracks people
up:

Straight man: Are you tan from the sun?
Me: No, I'm Matt from Earth.

Did you hear about the new restaurant on the Moon?

The view is great, but it has no atmosphere.

Brings to mind this one (which has been floating around the net for
ages, original author unknown to me):

When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, they did some
astronaut training on a Navajo Indian reservation.

One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across
the space crew. The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question
which his son translated. "What are these guys in the big suits
doing?"

A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the
moon. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message
to the moon with the astronauts.

Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA
folks found a tape recorder. After the old man recorded his message,
they asked the son to translate it. He refused.

So the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation where the rest of
the tribe listened and laughed but refused to translate the elder's
message to the moon.

Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government translator. He
reported that the moon message said, "Watch out for these guys; they
have come to steal your land."

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, including the
usual COM traffic between him, the other astronauts, and Mission
Control. 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, [they found] there was
no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the "Good
luck, Mr. Gorsky" statement meant. On July 5, in Tampa Bay, FL, while
answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-
year-old question to Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr.
Gorsky had died and so Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the
backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his
neighbors' bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorksy. As
he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at
Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the
kid next door walks on the moon!"

That's a myth, AFAIK.
But while we're collecting space jokes, what about the engineer in the
V-2 days who told the barman
"I've burned more alcohol in sixty seconds than you've ever sold across
this lousy bar".

Did you click on the link he included?

That explains that it is a myth.
