    I'll be there and this should be something to see.

    Beginning July 16 — the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch — through July 18, a full-sized, 363-foot-tall (110-meter) Saturn V rocket will be projected onto the east face of the Washington Monument from 9:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. EDT.

    I was looking for a way to save that graphic earlier, as it was in a format I was not familiar with. I will probably take a ride into DC one night next week to see this and snap a picture or two. Unfortunately my 6 year old son is overseas visiting grandma, so he will miss it (the Lego rocket is one of his favorite 'toys' -- I routinely have to put parts of it back together)

    I made it into town tonight. Did my best to get decent photos with my phone. It was hard to avoid streetlights, etc. down low, so I played with settings manually. I might go back tomorrow night with a dslr.

    Hmmm, seeing as how it is already July 18 I am guessing 'no'.
