This referred to a 'Mr Gorsky'. On the moon Armstrong was supposed to say 'This one's for you, Mr Gorsky', or 'Good Luck Mr Gorsky', depending upon the source. Supposedly when questioned Armstrong refused to say why he said this until eventually he admitted that it came from when he and his brother played ball in their back yard when they were kids. One day the ball went into a neighboor's yard - a neighbour who didn't like the tearaway Armstrong boys much. After climbing on the extension roof to get his ball Armstrong overheard them arguing in the bedroom: "Oral sex? oral sex? I'll give you oral sex when one of those boys next door walks on the moon..." hence Heil Armstron's quote. However, the whole story is untrue, and Armstrong never said it, always denying it when questioned. Moreover, the accurate transcripts of the Apollo Missions (available from the NASA site) show that nowhere did Armstrong ever say such a thing either during the flight, or whilst on the moon. A pity really as it makes a good after-dinner story.
