On July 16, 1969, as a German ship crossed the Atlantic Ocean, an almost foot-long piece of debris fell onto its deck. The fragment came from the first stage of the Saturn V booster that launched the Apollo 11 mission and was the only piece of that moon rocket recovered. That is, until now. The billionaire founder of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos, has announced he staged a successful private expedition to locate the five first-stage F-1 engines that launched the first manned moon landing. And what's more, his plan is to raise one or more from the depths of the ocean floor so they can be displayed.
