Good Luck Mr Gorky

[Lionel]

ON JULY 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo Lunar Lander module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon. His first words, after stepping on the moon’s surface, “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. Gorky.”

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. Gorky” 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. Gorky had died, so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question.

“In 1938, when I was a kid in a small Midwestern town, I was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard. My friend hit the ball, which landed in my neighbor’s yard by the bedroom windows. My neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorky.” I went into the Gorky’s yard and spotted the ball next to the house.

“As I leaned down to pick up the ball, I heard Mrs. Gorky shouting at Mr. Gorky. “Oral Sex! You want Oral Sex?! Sure, when the kid next door walks on the moon!!!!
