Just heard this story on TV:

*Good Luck Mr. Dorsky*

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 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 mid-west 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!"

A True story.
 
True or False?


This legend, seemingly an obvious joke, began circulating on the Internet in mid-1995 and was picked up by the media a few months later. The inclusion of specific details (the name of the person or the date of the press conference) apparently was added for the better perceived credibility of the story.
We can take the statement by Eric M. Jones, editor of NASA's Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Journal, as the official and final word on the Gorsky affair:

During November 1995, a clever (and slightly risqué) story was widely circulated on the Internet concerning a statement Neil is supposed to have made during the Apollo 11 EVA. At the suggestion of several readers, let me state that Neil never said "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" at any time during the mission. Indeed, on November 28, 1995, Neil wrote, "I understand that the joke is a year old. I first heard it in California delivered by (comedian) Buddy Hackett."

I see.. Thanks for clarifying! It would have been a fine case study for the Obedient wives club :D

But for the mat & the Obedient Wives Club, it would be, "Sex! You want sex?! You'll get sex when the kid next door walks on the sun!"
