Apollo 11 Mission to be Projected onto Washington Monument

To mark 50 years of the first lunar landing, a 363-feet Saturn V rocket that took man to the moon, will be projected on the east face of the Washington Monument here from July 16-20. Towards the end, the massive projection will be accompanied by a special 17-minute show, ‘Apollo 50: Go for the Moon’, that recreates the launch of Apollo 11. The show combines full-motion projection mapping artwork and archival footage to tell the story of the first Moon landing. It will unfold on the face of the Washington Monument and supporting screens, including a 40-feet wide recreation of the famous Kennedy Space Centre countdown clock. (IANS)
