So, still no word who gets the engines?

Assuming that you are a Amazon customer, the answer is probably you and me.

Yep, Bezos is pretty famous for this kind of thing though, ,he is also funding the clock in a mountain project too. But as you say it's ultimately us Amazon customers who are funding it....it's a worthwhile project though....I wonder if they will be able to correctly identify the mission these engines flew on.

The Smithsonian will probably get one of the engines. They have first dibs on anything.

Bezos wants the other to go to Seattle.
