When Jeff Bezos announced in March 2012 that his expedition had located Saturn V F-1 engines on the ocean floor, he claimed they were from the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon. A year later, when parts for two of those engines were successfully raised to the surface, their flight history was less clear. Now, three days after the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch, a conservator at the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center has exposed markings that positively identify one of the parts, a thrust chamber, as having flown on the historic moon mission.
