They were not there for a protest or to celebrate a National Holiday and they were not there for a concert or to watch a fireworks show. No, instead half a Million People went there drenched in sweat to watch the story of the apollo 11 mission as it was projected on to the washington monument, commemorating the moment 50 years ago when Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for mankind. As everyone in d. C. Knows, if there is half a Million People on the mall and it is not a protest, Something Big is going on. And landing the first humans on the moon and returning them safely to earth marks as one of the epical moments in the epochal moments in the history of man
