Recovery of Apollo 11 F-1 (Saturn V) engines from three miles beneath the Atlantic
Video from Jeff Bezos expedition to recover from the ocean floor Saturn V Engines used in the Apollo Moon Missions. Confirmed in July 2013 to be from the Apollo 11 Saturn V launch "The technology used for the recovery is in its own way as otherworldly as the Apollo technology itself. The Remotely Operated Vehicles worked at a depth of more than 14,000 feet, tethered to our ship with fiber optics for data and electric cables transmitting power at more than 4,000 volts. We on the team were often struck by poetic echoes of the lunar missions. The buoyancy of the ROVs looks every bit like microgravity. [...] Only the occasional deep sea fish broke the illusion." from bezosexpeditions.com/updates.html Music: Drift by Julian Lloyd Webber on Cello, Pam Chowhan on Harp
