Jeff Bezos Finds An Apollo 11 F-1 Rocket Engine

As a young person in the 1960's there was little more exciting than the Moon landings. Huge Saturn V rockets thrust three men a quarter of a million miles out into space and after it was all done, they would coast back home.

The Saturn rocket itself would be dumped in the ocean minutes after launch, having delivered the acceleration and momentum that would be needed for the tiny capsule and lander to make the journey across the vacuum.

And after all was said and done, only the capsule and men would return, everything else lost in the effort.

Until now.

Back in March, Jeff Bezos' Bezos Expeditions raised Saturn V rocket components from their watery grave in the Atlantic. It has now been confirmed, by the serial numbers on the engine, that Bezo's scored big. He has found one of the engines from the Apollo 11 mission that first put men on the moon.

Here's some video of the recovery.
