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 REENTERED THE LANDER, HE  MADE THE ENIGMATIC REMARK 'GOOD LUCK, MR. GORSKY.'

MANY PEOPLE AT NASA THOUGH  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, 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 THE 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!'
