Who knew? Don't know the author here but don't care either. Well, while this is interesting and humous, I find this to be just a good story to tell at a block party at NASA.
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 with several remarks, usually 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.
On July 5th, 1995 (in Tampa, 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 Armstrong felt he could answer the question.
When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with some friends in the backyard one evening near dusk. One of his buddies hit a long fly ball which landed in front of his neighbor's bedroom window.
His neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, young Armstrong heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "A blow job! You want a blow job?! You'll get a blow job when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
