🚀 Rockets are transported with extreme precision long before launch, often more impressive than the liftoff itself. Most move horizontally by road or rail on custom shock-absorbing trailers, while giants like NASA’s Saturn V and SLS ride upright atop crawler-transporters creeping to the pad at under 1 mph. Modern rockets like SpaceX’s Falcon 9 use transporter-erectors, hauled horizontally and raised vertical on site. Every move is tracked for tilt, vibration, and temperature, since a single jolt can ruin a multimillion-dollar payload. Would you trust a 200-foot rocket rolling down the highway next to you? 🤔💭 ( Media: admeiaftraynor ) #rocket #aerospace #engineering #technology #nasa
