NASA Claims Ownership Of Sunken Apollo Engines
On Friday, NASA officials claimed that they were the rightful owners of the Apollo 11 rocket engines found on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean earlier this week by a privately-funded expedition headed up by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, CNN.com is reporting.
As previously reported here on RedOrbit, Bezos announced the discovery of the spacecraft’s F-1 engines that carried Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the moon using deep-sea sonar equipment. The engines, which powered the Saturn V rocket that carried the Apollo 11 astronauts to the lunar service, were located approximately 14,000 feet below the surface.
Bezos said that he and his crew were “making plans to attempt to raise one or more of them from the ocean floor,” to which NASA Administrator Charles Bolden responded in a statement, congratulating the billionaire and his associated for their “historic” find and wishing them “all the luck in the world.”
