That was great
Thought you might like this SM.
From autographica 99 I think it was, when I met Al Bean, Ed Mitchell, Walt Cunningham and Dick Gordon.

A team led by Amazon chief Jeff Bezos has located the rocket engines that first sent people to the Moon, and plans to recover at least one engine from the depths of the Atlantic.
The Apollo 11 mission, which put astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface in 1969, took off with the aid of five F1 engines that plunged into the ocean after lift-off. On Wednesday, space enthusiast Bezos said his team had become the first to find the rockets.
Hopefully should make a good program like Gus Grissoms mercury capsule recovery which had Gunther Wendt onboard.

Not sure how i would vote tbh. I mean, yeah, there's Juno. But it seems Juice is looking for "habitability", wheras Juno is more focused on gravity and composition. The others both sound rather interesting. So i guess i'll be happy with any decision
