NEIL ARMSTRONG….PRICELESS!

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 to be 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 cosmonaut, however, upon checking, there was no Gorsky in either Russian or American space programmes.

Over the years, many people questioned Armstrong to what the ‘Good Luck,Mr Gorsky,’ 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 about Mr Gorsky to Armstrong.

This time he finally responded because Mr Gorsky had died, so neil Armstrong felt he could now answer the question.

Here is the answer to,”Who was Mr Gorsky.”

In 1938, when he was a kid in a small mid- western town, he was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.His friend hit the ball, which landed in his neighbour’s yard by their bedroom window.

His neoghbours were Mr and mrs Gorsky, as he leaned down to pick up the ball,young Armstrong heard Mrs Gorsky shouting to Mr Gorsky,

”Sex! you want Sex?! you’ll get sex when the kid next door lands on the moon!”

It broke the place up.

Neil Armsrong’s family confirmed that this is a true story.
