Cute Story - I hope it is true.
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 reentered 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 Bay, 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 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 pick up the ball, young Armtrong heard
Mrs.
Gorsky shouting at Mr.Gorsky:
"Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the
moon!"
