50th Anniversary – Apollo 11

The 50th anniversary of the moon landings – Apollo 11 – was a few weeks ago. The Smithsonian hosted a special event where the Washington Monument was used as a projection screen for the Saturn V launch and moon landing. It was spectacular. The sound during the rocket launch caused the ground I was sitting on to rumble.

Here’s an article from WTOP about it. Here’s one of my favorite photos, taken by someone else.

These are my photos.
