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 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 and Armstrong went to get the ball.

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!"
