Shoemaker will save us from any dangerous comets: Man on the Moon Retired USGS scientist Eugene Shoemaker, who died two years ago in an auto accident while crater-hunting in Australia, became the first human to be laid to rest on another celestial body. On July 31, his ashes arrived on the moon aboard NASA's Lunar Prospector science craft. Shoemaker gained worldwide fame as a co-discoverer of comet Shoemaker-Levy that slammed into Jupiter in 1994, and is credited along with his wife Carolyn for the discovery of about 20 comets and 800 asteriods. Gene had a long scientific career with the USGS and Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Ariz. "He's going to be the man in the moon to us," Carolyn Shoemaker said during the spacecraft launch.
