Remotely operated vehicles recovered parts of the F-1 rocket engines used in the Apollo missions from a depth of more 14,000 feet, Gizmag reported.
Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com founder and the man behind Aerospace firm Blue Origin, has been working on the project for over a year, and recovered the parts over a three-week period.
According to Gizmag, Bezos hoped to recover the engines used to launch Apollo 11 on July 16, 1969, but the serial numbers for the recovered engines are missing or partly missing, so identifying which mission the rockets are from will be difficult.
