Going to the Moon

When I was a child, I often heard an ancient tale that there was a goddess on the moon, who came from the earth. The tale made me wonder if it could become a reality. Later, I learned that going to the moon from the earth was accomplished in 1969. In celebrating 50th anniversary of moon landing, a full-size image of the Saturn V rocket, which carried Apollo 11 to the moon, was projected on Washington Monument. This image of human achievement will stay with us forever.

 

The photo received the editor's favorite at National Geographic Your Shot.
