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 - 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, there was no Gorsky
in either the Russian nor 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!"
