Good Luck Mr. Gorsky


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 be several remarks - 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, 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, 1995 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. 
Gorsky.  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!"
