More On The Moon Engines

NASA learned of Apollo 11's Saturn V engines being found on the ocean floor the same way and at the same time as everyone else: by reading the website of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. "We read Mr. Bezos's blog post with the same excitement as I am sure others have," Bob Jacobs, NASA's deputy assoc. administrator for communications, said Wednesday. "We look forward to hearing more from his team." Curt Newport, who led the 1999 expedition to raise Gus Grissom's Liberty Bell 7 Mercury spacecraft, also responded to the project's plan to raise one or more of the engines. "If they're intact, they're like nine tons each," he told MSNBC.com. "That is not going to be easy to bring to the surface."
