The Air and Space Museum launched its four-day celebration of the moon landing’s 50th anniversary by projecting an image onto the Washington Memorial of the Apollo 11 takeoff.
The full-scale image of Saturn V, which will adorn the iconic obelisk for three days, covers the entire length of the 363-foot monument.
FOX 5 captured an impressive preview along the National Mall early Monday morning when an image of a full-sized, 363-foot Saturn V rocket was projected onto the Washington Monument ahead of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon launch!

50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and I launched into space on a mission of enormous importance. God bless the 400,000 Americans who helped us get to the moon and back. Together, we Americans can do anything! Never forget July 16, 1969! #Apollo50 pic.twitter.com/lX6456UO2N
