Exclamation Don't make promises you don't intend to keep!

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.


But just before he reentered 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
just smiled.



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 finally responded. Mr. Gorsky
had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.


In 1938 when he was a kid in a small Midwest town, he was
playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit the
ball, which landed in his neighbor's yard by the bedroom windows. 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:
"Sex! You want sex! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the
moon!"


True story.
