Billionaire Jeff Bezos is interested in space. The longtime CEO of Amazon.com also owns Blue Origin, a NewSpace company trying to develop private, manned, orbital spacecraft.
Another Bezos passion is the Apollo program. For some time he has been leading an effort to locate the rocket engines that lifted Apollo 11 towards the Moon on the floor of the Atlantic and raise them. Recently, Bezos' team brought one engine up from the depths. Of course, dozens of rocket engines litter the ocean floor outside Cape Kennedy, so it's not certain Bezos got exactly what he wanted, but his team will keep working on a precise identification.
