This is 1 of 5 F-1 engines that lifted each Saturn V rocket off its launch pad and made it possible for Apollo to land on the moon during the 1960s and 70s. This is the heart of the engine, the thrust chamber. 2 of the engines were discovered in 2012 off Florida on an expedition by Jeff Bezos.

Really, did Bezos even "discover" it or was he just there when the first picture was taken? Seriously, this is the problem in the world, the funders get all of the credit like coming up with the money is the hardest part of a project.

Case and point, we're replacing a generator on a tug boat. They came in a 65kW and 99kW flavor. Boss got the 99 and gets upset when I explain the cooling system and switchboard won't handle it. I come up with an inexpensive upgrade for the switchboard that doesn't require replacing everything. Boss complains about the cost. I do all of the work. The boss impresses the owner because he doubled the capacity of the generator. I feel Bezos is like my boss, never actually did anything but reaps the benefits.
