I read this somewhere a couple of years ago...here at MB, if I remember correctly. It is a<BR>great story...if I can remember all the details.<P>*** <P>Supposedly, when Neil Armstrong entered back into the lunar module after his historic<BR>quote on the moon of “That’s one small step for man...”, he uttered another statement<BR>that did not get the same amount of publicity. Apparently he was heard to say: <BR>“Good luck, Mr. Gorsky”.<P>The folks at Mission Control really didn’t know what he was talking about, thinking he<BR>might have been wishing one of his Russian counterparts good luck in their own space<BR>exploration pursuits. <P>Problem is, there was no Russian cosmonaut by the name of Gorsky.<P>Upon his return to earth, he was asked about his comment wishing “Mr. Gorsky...good<BR>luck!” <BR>Neil just smiled and shook his head and said nothing.<P>For years after that, every once in awhile, the question would come back up and Neil<BR>would always politely decline to comment about the “Mr. Gorsky” remark.<P>Years later, at a fundraising event in Florida, a reporter who remembered the statement,<BR>once again, asked Neil what was behind the quote. Smiling, Neil relented and gave an<BR>explanation. He felt free to share the story since this Mr. Gorsky had passed away.<P>According to Neil, years earlier, when he was just a small boy, he lived next door to the<BR>“Gorsky’s.” One day, while playing ball with some friends, the ball was hit into their<BR>neighbors yard...and right up underneath the bedroom window, that was open. Neil ran<BR>over to retrieve the ball...and as he was fixing to return to his yard, he heard Mrs. Gorsky<BR>hollering at her husband:<P>“Sex!? You want sex?! I’ll give you sex when that boy next door walks on the moon!”<P>*********<P>You gotta admit...true or not...that had to put a smile on your face!

<BR>very cute!<P>

Debunked contemporary legend. Sorry.
