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 neal 50 years ago when armstrong and buzz aldrin took that giant leap for mankind. If there is half a Million People on the lawn and it is not a protest, Something Big is going on. Land on the moon and returning safely to earth marks as one of the epical moments in the history of mankind. What we see now is very different than the landscape of 1969.
