<< 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 a man, one giant leap for mankind", were televised
 to Earth and heard by millions.=A0 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.=A0 However, upon checking, there
 was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.
=20
 Over the years many people questioned Armstrong as to what
 the "Good luck Mr. Gorsky" statement meant, but Armstrong always
 just smiled.
=20
 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.=A0 This time he finally responded.=A0 Mr.
 Gorsky had died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the
 question.
=20
 In 1938 when he was a kid in a small midwest town, he was
 playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.=A0 His friend
 hit a fly ball, which landed in his neighbor's yard by the bedroom
 windows.=A0 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.=A0 "Sex!=A0 You want sex?!=20
 You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"
