		Eugene Shoemaker (1928-1997) is best known to the general public for his discovery, along with his wife, Carolyn, and author Levy, of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which slammed into the planet Jupiter in 1994.
		Shoemaker had played an important role in the Ranger and Apollo programs, where he helped to determine the geology of the moon's surface and ascertained that landing craft and astronauts wouldn't sink knee-deep into the thick regolith (surface material) as other scientists had speculated.
		As an advisor to NASA and trainer of astronauts in basic geology, Shoemaker was in the thick of the moon missions, but, as Levy describes, was exhausted by his work on them and in the 1970s returned to the study of cosmic collisions.

	Eugene M. Shoemaker biography
		Eugene Shoemaker, a geologist who shaped his science into a new form, astrogeology, and propelled it to the forefront in lunar and planetary exploration, was probably the 20th century's leading planetary scientist.
		When spacecraft reached beyond the Moon, he focused on the satellites of the outer planets and on comets and asteroids, while enthusiastically and generously continuing to inspire, support, and guide the hundreds of scientists who are applying the methods he developed to whatever planets and moons come in view.
		Eugene Shoemaker's well-lived life ended in a car crash in Australia in July 1997, while he and Carolyn once again, and with great joy, were reading the record of chance encounters between Earth's rocks and the rocks that travel the depths of space.

	Eugene Shoemaker (1928-1997)
		Born in Los Angeles, California, on 1928 April 28, Eugene Merle Shoemaker graduated from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena at the age of 19.
		Together with the other observing programs at Palomar, the Shoemakers have ensured that Palomar recently became and is likely to remain the leading site for the discovery of asteroids, with currently more than 13 percent of asteroids that have been numbered having been found there.
		A few months before the Shoemaker program was terminated came its "defining moment", with Gene receiving the thrill of his lifetime when some 20 components of one of those 32 comets were observed to crash into the planet Jupiter with astoundingly dramatic results.

		Shoemaker has ddne more than any other person to advance the idea that sudden geologic changes can arise from asteroid strikes and that asteroid strikes are common over geologic time periods.
		He was set to be the first scientist to walk on the Moon but was disqualified due to a ddisorder of his adrenal gland.Coming to Caltech in 1969, he started a systematic search for Earth orbit-crossing asteroids, which resulted in the discovery of several families of such asteroids, including the Apollo asteroids.

		He was a major investigator of the imaging by unmanned Ranger and Surveyor satellites which, before any Apollo landing, revealed the nature of the Moon's cover of soil and broken rock that he named the regolith.

		Shoemaker got his lifelong wish to see an impact when that comet struck Jupiter.
		And his wish to go to the moon, thwarted by his health, was fulfilled when the spacecraft Lunar Prospector, carrying one ounce of his ashes, crashed onto the lunar surface five years to the week after the last traces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 disappeared.

		The book's only real flaw is in it's extreme reverence for Shoemaker and the resultant unwillingness to dig for "dirt" in the process of profiling this colorful and contentious man, understandable considering how close Levy was to Shoemaker, and how close he remains to Shoemaker's wife Carolyn.
		Shoemaker will be remembered as one of the most important scientists of the 20th century.
		Shoemaker's enthusiasm for geology was a key to his success and Levy concentrates on that, leaving the technical aspects to the bibliography.

		A year later, Levy would be by the Shoemakers' side again when their comet ended its four-billion-year-long journey through the solar system and collided with Jupiter in the most stunning astronomical display of the century.
		Early in his training as a geologist, Shoemaker suspected that it wasn't volcanic activity but rather collisions with comets and asteroids that created most of the craters on the moon and most other bodies in the solar system.
		Levy's explanation of the scientific reasoning that guided Shoemaker in his career up to this dramatic point--as well as his personal portrait of a man who found white-water rafting to be an easy way to relax--sets these fascinating events in a human scale.

		Otherwise, all the features could be, arguably, volcanic and before the 1980s they were referred to as cryptovolcanos.
		However, in the 1960s, Eugene Merle (Gene) Shoemaker (1928-1997) noted that the cratered strata is overturned in the rim debris field.
		This "bolide" explanation found corroboration when Shoemaker and Edward Ching-Te Chao discovered that fused-appearing crater derived Coconino quartz sandstone grains are natural coesite.
