Oh my. That transporter crawler is the most awesome piece of machinery that mankind has ever designed. I'm sorry to hear that they're out of business... If I remember right we have 3 crawlers???

When I was at KSC, I was fortunate enough to be able to walk beside a crawler as the Atlantis was being transported to the pad

Funny thing, there were several crawlers at Prudhoe Bay while the camp modules were being erected. We estimated that if someone stole one and drove off we could still see him headed down the road the next day. These crawlers weren't as big as the ones at Cape Canaveral, but the modules are only about ten storeys tall, built in Seattle and delivered by barge in summer.
