There's been quite a few events going on this weekend to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. Last night I braved the crowds and unbearable heat on the National Mall for a show. They projected the rocket onto the Washington Monument, accompanied by a 17-minute show featuring clips of JFK ("We do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard."), mission control, the Moon landing itself, and audio of the astronauts talking back and forth with mission control. Truly one of the coolest experiences I have ever had. The applause from the crowd when the craft landed on the Moon (projected onto the monument!) warmed my heart. I love living in DC.
