Apollo 50: Go for the Moon

It’s finally here: the full video of “Apollo 50: Go for the Moon” projection show!

Relive the inspiring, once-in-a-lifetime celebration, which unfolded on the face of the Washington Monument July 19 and 20 in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.

“Go for the Moon” captures the excitement of the first Moon landing and tells the story of the iconic Apollo 11 mission from launch to landing and beyond.

“Apollo 50: Go for the Moon” was commissioned by the National Air and Space Museum and produced by 59 Productions. (all rights reserved to NASM and 59 Productions, as appropriate)
