Rockets that sent people to the moon have just been pulled from the bottom of the ocean. Billionaire Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon and of the private space-flight company Blue Origin, announced yesterday that his team has recovered parts of a Saturn V rocket used on Apollo missions to the moon.


Driven by five F-1 engines at its base, the powerful is the only rocket that has ever taken humans to another world. About 2 minutes after launch, these engines would run out of fuel and the bottom section of the rocket would separate and fall into the sea. Until recently, the fate of these lost pieces of history was unknown.
