Who was Neil Armstrong's Gorski?

Answer 1

Good luck, Mr Gorski - This is what Neil Armstrong said before leaving the moon. Mr. Gorski was the neighbor of Neil Armstrong when he was a child.

This is the story:

(With Neil's passing, I am sure he doesn't mind this story going

around again. R.I.P. Neil. - D.)

Subject: Mr. Gorsky

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW THIS LITTLE TIDBIT OF TRIVIA,

ON 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 RE-ENTERED 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 NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION.

IN 1938, WHEN NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS A KID IN A SMALL MID-WESTERN TOWN , HE

WAS PLAYING Baseball WITH A FRIEND IN THE BACKYARD.

HIS FRIEND HIT THE BALL, WHICH LANDED IN HIS NEIGHBOR'S YARD NEAR

THEIR 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.

"SEX! YOU WANT SEX?!

YOU'LL GET SEX WHEN THE KID NEXT DOOR WALKS ON THE MOON!"

TRUE STORY. It broke the place up.
