True story - Neil Armstrong

Truth is stranger than fiction

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, 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.

Two years ago, (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 neighbors pick up. When he went to retrieve 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!"
