Crawler Transporter: Mobile launch platform
These beauties carry the shuttle to the launch site. they travel a maximum of 2 miles per hour. Carrying masses on them, they crush the gravel under them. They look like they were straight out from a Star Wars film. (They would be stuck in the mud if they were to travel anywhere else) The gravel is specially imported from Arkansas
