Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says he has located the long-submerged F-1
engines that blasted the Apollo 11 Moon mission into space. In 1969,
Apollo 11 carried astronauts on the first Moon landing task. They burned
for just a few minutes before separating from the second stage module
and falling to Earth somewhere in the Atlantic.
Other
elements of the Apollo missions including the Apollo 11 authority
module are on display in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum
in Washington DC. The F-1 engines were used on the giant Saturn V
rocket that carried the Apollo landing module out of the Earth's
atmosphere and towards the Moon.
