The story goes that when astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, in addition to his famous, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement, he also made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck, Mr.Gorsky!"
Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning a rival Soviet Cosmosnaut. Upon checking the records, there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs. Over the years, many people have questioned Armstrong as to what the "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" comment meant. At a press conference following a speech in West Palm Beach, Florida, a reporter brought up the question to Armstrong. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and Armstrong felt he could finally reply.

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 neighbor's bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned over to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky yelling at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
