OK, see who's a smart little astronomer - try this:
What's the name of the only person to be buried on the Moon?
And no, it's not a joke question.

Shoemaker, may he rest in peace. Some of his remains were on the Lunar prospector flight that after it's mission was finished, was crashed into the moon.

You got it Robert - spot on.
Eugene Shoemaker's ashes are now embedded in the surface of the Moon. Soooo, he's the first person to be buried on the Moon( technically).
This will win you a free schooner at the bar - try it.
One of my main goals in life now is to stump Robert:
"What's the only month in recorded history NOT to have a full moon in it?"

LOL, what a goal in life. LOL
February. It being the shortest month. (28 days and the Moons cycle every 29.5 days)

OK, Feb was right, but what year did this happen?
