Jeff Bezos now just showing off
http://www.bezosexpeditions.com/engine-recovery.html ... I'm excited to report that, using state-of-the-art deep sea sonar, the team has found the Apollo 11 engines lying 14,000 feet below the surface, and we're making plans to attempt to raise one or more of them from the ocean floor. We don't know yet what condition these engines might be in - they hit the ocean at high velocity and have been in salt water for more than 40 years. On the other hand, they're made of tough stuff, so we'll see. -- http://nebusresearch.wordpress.com/ Joseph Nebus Current Entry: I Know The Square Root Of Five, Too http://wp.me/p1RYhY-8Y ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Seriously, wouldn't the laws of salvage apply? Or is US government equipment exempt from those? -- Gordon Davie Edinburgh, Scotland "Slipped the surly bonds of Earth...to touch the face of God." |

Seriously, wouldn't the laws of salvage apply? If memory serves, "law of salvage" says that if the object's owner can be identified, the salvager must make an effort to contact him/her and request repayment of salvage/recovery costs. If the owner declines to make payment, the object becomes the salvager's. Brian |
