No kidding!
Well, at least a portion of this American's 'remains' are now buried on the moon.... A small portion of the remains of Dr. Eugene Shoemaker, astronomer and co-discoverer of Comet Shoemaker-Levy, which had been placed on board the Lunar Prospector Spacecraft, was crashed deliberately into the lunar South pole in 1999. Hmmm; that seems to give new meaning to the phrase, "The man in the moon". ![]() Just thought you ought to know. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugene_Shoemaker G^2 -- I'm not afraid to die; I just don't want to be there when it happens. - Woody Allen-- |
