a true story.
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 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...² 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 midwest 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!"

I hate it when the truth ruins a good story, but
This whopper has been circulating for years via email and can be found on dozens of Websites accompanied by the claim that it really happened. But it's false, as anyone can verify by perusing the official lunar landing transcript on NASA's Apollo 11 site (audio & video clips included).
Sometimes attributed to comedian Buddy Hackett, the Gorsky tale obviously came into this world as a joke, earning the status of urban legend over time through sheer repetition as a "true story." In spite of the ease with which this one is debunked, it's so much fun to read and pass along that it will doubtless be with us for decades to come.
