NASA's 6 million pound crawler-transporter carries rockets

Rockets can't just drive themselves to the launchpad — so NASA has two of the biggest vehicles ever built to get them there. Weighing in at 6 million pounds, the crawler-transporters have been in use since the Apollo program to get vehicles from the assembly building to the launch facility.

My dad was chief engineer on the Crawler Transporter in the 1960's and early 1970's.

If NASA is able to build this thing with a limited budget, you can only wonder what the Military has hiding.
