Good Luck, Mr.Gorsky "Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky ! Here is a TRUE anecdote about Neil Armstrong....When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" statement but followed it by several remarks, usual communication traffic between him, the other astronauts and Mission Control. Just before he re-entered the lander, however, he made this 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 FL, 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 finally died and so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. His friend hit a fly ball, which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom windows. His neighbors were Mr. & 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. |

Oh, man, this is a such a fantastic story that I couldn't believe.
So, Mr. Gorsky finally get to have "the thing" as the kid landed on the moon !!
What a line !!
I think Armstrong was a genius. No doubt about it.
I am adding another article about him as a reply webpage to qualify what I said.
Did he go all the way to the moon, so that Mr. Gorsky can have it?
I guess we would never know.
What had been left in the kid's memory might have pushed him eventually to the moon.
I do have a few pieces of such memories during my childhood
that have pushed me into the related activities later in my life.

This is a great story indeed and funny as well.
We could know now what type of person,Neil Armstrong really was.
Normally average person was itching to spread this kind funny and great anecdote right away,
but he was waiting until the man,Mr. Gorsky passed away.
Thanks for sharing this story with us! Dr. Lee! KJ
This story was mentioned by Fr. Belczak during his homily today.
I confirmed the story through internet.
Neil Armstrong had the dream early on since age only two about flying and
obtained the pilot license at age 15 and dreamed about walking on the moon.
His neighbor Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky knew it all very well.
When Mr. Gorsky was begging for sex, Mrs. refused by quoting Neil's what appears then an impossible dream.
He had a dream very early in his childhood and stuck to it all through his adulthood, and
along the way he never forgot those people he cared about including Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky.
He didn't want the world to know for 26 years until they passed away.
According to Fr. Belczak, it was a summer time in 1938,(Neil was 8) when no American family had air-conditioner so that
every house will keep the doors and windows wide open.
As a result, Neil could hear loud and clear what the poor Mr. Gorsky was saying.
