Apollo Reborn

The Bezos Expedition Team has been leading the effort to recover engines from the Apollo Missions.  Many of the F-1 series engines were burnt up and warped upon reentry to the earths atmosphere.  Serial numbers have been used to attempt to link the engines to the famous Apollo 11 mission. Due to the immense amount of heat most of the serial numbers are not complete.  The latest update from Bezos was released on March 20th 2013, after spending three weeks at sea. When asked if he felt the retrieval of the engines would benefit science Tyler Tumilson replied "He feels that the engines have already been built by the U.S.A. once, why would the recovery benefit science."
