It's not funny

Good luck Mr. Gorsky

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, 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.

Just last year, (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 responded. Mr. Gorsky apparently had finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

When he was a kid, Armstrong had been playing baseball with a friend in the back yard. His friend had hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbour's bedroom windows. The neighbours were called Mr. & Mrs. Gorsky. As he had picked up the ball, young Neil had 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!"
