Here is a web page with a little song ditty dedicated to Gene Shoemaker, 
the first person to have his ashes strewn on the Moon (via the final 
collision of the Lunar Prospector spacecraft)...

There was an interesting article in the Monday  June 16, 2008 AZ 
Republic commemorating Shoemaker and his life work.
