Just received this and thought it was worth passing on.

>> it was just a walk on the moon!
>>
>>
>>
>> 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.
>>
>> 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 and 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 a fly 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.
