In case you didn't already know this little tidbit of space trivia.........
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 man, one giant leap for mankind", were televised to earth and heard by millions of people.
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 only smiled.
On July 4, 1995, in Tampa Bay , Florida , while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26-year-old question about Mr. Gorsky to Armstrong.This time he finally responded, because Mr. Gorsky had died, so Neil felt he could finally answer the question.
Here is the answer to "Who was Mr. Gorsky?".
In 1938, when Neil was a kid in a small mid-western town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the yard. His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbor's yard right by their open bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As young Neil leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky:
"Sex? You want sex? You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
It broke the place up!
Neil Armstrong's family confirmed that this is a true story....
