On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar
Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
His first words after stepping on the moon, "That's one small
step for a man, one giant leap for mankind", were televised to Earth and
heard by millions. But just 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 questioned
Armstrong as to what the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but
Armstrong always just smiled. On July 5, 1995, in Tampa
by, Florida, 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 died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could
answer the question. In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Midwest
town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His
friend hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor's yard by the
bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down
to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr.
Gorsky.

"Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks
on the moon!"
