I would be more impressed if he went to the moon and brought back the launch pad for the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module.)

Agreed. Those Stage One boosters can't be in great shape after falling 40 miles and then being in salt water for 40+ years. And ... so what if he does find them?

How does he know they are the S-IC-6 engines? Wikipedia shows 6 of the first stages impacted the water within 2 miles of each other.

Obviously a billionaire and his money are soon parted.

These are Rocketdyne engines and were built to last forever!

what a waste of money, for a corroded piece of junk. Better off donating the money to a worthy chariety.

It's his money to spend as he pleases, but I agree.

Papa John getting his old car back (that he sold to support his family) is kinda cool, but I can't say the same for this one. I expect a better mid-life crisis out of Bezos!

I agree with comments here. What does he plan to do with the junk if he gets it? Bragging rights?

He should start a garbage co. and bill governments for picking it up.
