> re-entered the lander, however, he made the enigmatic remark, "Good luck, Mr.
> Gorsky."

> 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

> Armstrong always just smiled.

> Just last year, (on July 5, 1995 in Tampa Bay FL) while answering questions

> so Neil Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, he
> was playing baseball with a friend in the backyard.

> His friend hit a fly ball which landed in the front of his neighbor's bedroom
