Summary
[edit]DescriptionApollo 11 Engines Recovered by Bezos Expeditions (8574459399).jpg |
Jeff Bezos' crew has found the Apollo 11 booster at the bottom of the sea and now they have recovered two of the enormous F-1 engines which hit the ocean in 1969 going 5000 MPH. This is the thrust chamber section on its way back to Cape Canaveral today. Here is the HD video of the robotic recovery at a depth of 14,000 feet. Photo sequence below. Jeff writes: "We on the team were often struck by poetic echoes of the lunar missions. The buoyancy of the ROVs looks every bit like microgravity. The blackness of the horizon. The gray and colorless ocean floor. Only the occasional deep sea fish broke the illusion." "Each piece we bring on deck conjures for me the thousands of engineers who worked together back then to do what for all time had been thought surely impossible." I just wrote Jeff to tell him that Bezos Expeditions is now bestowed with symbolic immortality. A year ago, I asked if I could help with recovering a third engine... Still hoping... =) We live in incredible times. |
