These vehicles are the LARGEST self-powered land vehicles in the world and weigh over 6.5 MILLION pounds. πŸš˜πŸš€... Built in the 60's, they were originally used to move the massive Saturn V rocket from the VAB to the launch pad. Then they were modified to bring the space shuttles to their launch pads. Today, this Crawler-Transporter is being beefed up to carry the SLS. πŸš˜πŸš€... They move at a whopping speed of...1mph. basically Grandma could beat this beast in a race, but hey, slow and steady keeps a rocket from toppling! That's what I always say! πŸš˜πŸš€...
