Living in the DC area has its perks. This week marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s voyage to the Moon. For that occasion the rocket in which Astronauts Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin flew to the Moon (Apollo 11) was projected on the Washington Monument from July 17th thru the 20th. The projection culminated in a simulated rocket launch on the Monument. Here are some pictures I made during the event.
