I wish it were true, had that reaction when I first heard it. According to the late Neil Armstrong, he and his wife first heard the story when the late Buddy Hackett told the joke (apparently he's the author) in his show.

Nope, just a story. He also said “One small step for A man...”

Armstrong was also listed as “Mr. Neil Armstrong, as he had retired from the service before applying for the astronaut program. As the Navy and the Air Force were bickering as to which branch of service the first man on the Moon would belong to, he was the perfect compromise.

Sooooooooo.... immediately upon realizing that Armstrong DID in fact walk on the moon, Mr. Gorsky, now some 30+ years older, did in fact get laid....

Yikes.... :^)

I knew Mr. Armstrong, Niel and went to school with his son.

He was as great a man as his legacy supports.

His moon walk was greatness but without it he would have been just as great.

Aspire to be like him and please just as humble.

And on that very same day at a little airport in Sandwich, Illinois I was entertained by Bob Hope!

Not true Flat Earthers will be along shortly to explain how it was so done in the Disney studio. If you are lucky they will also let you in on how Australia isn’t a real place!

Yes, the story is true. But it wasn't the moon that Armstrong went to. It was mars.

___________________________

On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2005, Jackson Lee made embarrassing news by asking if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong.[2]

Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.

It is funny, but NASA transcripts confirm that he never said that. 8>)

The following statement was made 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."

Actually, that’s not the first thing he said. When he first set his foot down on the lunar surface, he described the texture of the ground and what it felt like.
