Apollo 11 engines found on seabed
A team of undersea searchers funded by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos has located the rocket engines that powered the manned trip to the moon in 1969, and now plans to recover them, he said.
Those five F-1s burned for just a few minutes, and then plunged back to Earth into the Atlantic Ocean, just as NASA planned. A few days later, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon.
