I have a picture of my dad driving that out to the launch pad. He was one of the guys who went down to Fl. in the early 60's to assemble it with the Marion Power Shovel who built it.
*Such an engineering marvel that*
*has been moving for about 50 years.*
2:15 Very gentleman.
A true titan of engineering - amazing and brilliant.
A long history of moving "broomsticks"!
Wow! Fascinating, thanks.
Thx for great video
Beautiful. Indeed a great role.
Great information !
Amazing machine...from the sixties !
How do you get the launch vehicle off of the crawler and onto the launch pad ?
How does it turn?
Thanks for sharing and the presenter gets an extra 👍👍👍 for bringing the passion of the engineers to our mind. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚀❤️
Go for launch ⭐🇺🇸👍☀️
excellent
we hope nasa will not delay the program further😌😌😌 new generations are eagerly waiting⏳⏳⏳
New generations waiting or not, putting people on the moon is a much more delicate task than sending them up to the ISS and if I recall correctly they described setting up an encounter with the moon as throwing a dart across a football field to hit a piece of paper edge-on. There's very little room for error and as such nothing should be rushed. I personally wouldn't complain if they had to delay things until 2030 in order to get everything right and not lose anyone on the way there, on site or on the way back home. Coz there are very few things that require such careful planning as landing people on the moon does.
That all said, I'm sure today's tech makes things a crapton easier already *_compared to the Apollo missions._*
didn't mention the fact that that was Built-in Marion Ohio.!
The firm I worked for was hired by NASA to do the noise control on the 2 CTs in the early 2000s because we had lots of experience with Marion's Walking Draglines and Power Shovels.
Metric system would be nice...
Great big machine.
Big Great Machine
Would have been great to get a explanation on how the transfer the rocket from the crawler to the launchpad.
The rocket stays on a huge platform and the platform stays on 4 huge retractable jacks. the crawler goes under this platform , they retract the jacks , then the platform and rocket stay on the crawler for the ride. reverse operation at the arrival on the pad.
@@lebaillidessavoies3889 thanks for the explanation. Have a good day.
they use midgets
@@snydedon9636 The Hydraulic Jacks also keep the Rocket upright while climbing up to the Pad, as the Pads are higher than the Crawlerway so there is an Incline on the last few hundred Meters.
@@Genius_at_Work thanks, genius.
At this point i would be more worried about the ground taking all that weight … i mean its “just” the rollers transferring all the weight to the ground, its a pretty concentrated weight contact patch …
That's exactly what those tank treads are for. They distibute the weight over as large an area as possible.
Do they use a 15 amp fuse?
Yes, for the Microwave oven.
Ah, thought it might be the turn indicators!
@@MrFreakMeister I think 15A even at 115V isn't enough for such a monster

"I would do it [study UFOs], but before agreeing to do it, we must insist upon full access to discs recovered. For instance, in the L.A. case, the Army grabbed it and would not let us have it for cursory examination." J. Edgar Hoover-Director of FBI
The security guard called and said, “Sir, there’s a glowing red object hovering right outside the front gate. I’ve got all the men out here with their weapons drawn.” We lost between 16-18 ICBMs (nuclear tipped Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles) at the same time UFOs were in the area… (A high-ranking Air Force officer) said, “Stop the investigation; do no more on this and do not write a final report. I heard that many of the guards that reported the incident were sent off to Vietnam." Captain Robert Salas, USAF, during a videotaped interview for the Disclosure program.
"A few insiders know the truth...and are studying the bodies that have been discovered." -Dr. Edwin Mitchell Apollo 14..the 6th NASA employee to walk on the Moon.
"Maximum security exists concerning the subject of UFOs.” CIA Director, Allen Dulles, 1955.
"It's still classified above Top Secret." - Senator Barry Goldwater, 1975
“Behind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe that unknown flying objects are nonsense.” Former CIA Director, Roscoe Hillenkoetter, public statement, 1960.
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false” -William Casey, CIA director, 1981
“Yes, there have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered. There has been a certain amount of reverse engineering that has allowed some of these craft, or some components, to be duplicated. And there is some group of people that may or may not be associated with government at this point that have this knowledge. They have been attempting to conceal this knowledge. People in high level government have very little, if any, valid information about this. It has been the subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and create confusion so the truth doesn’t come out. ” ― Edgar D. Mitchell, The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical World
AFFIDAVIT (1) My name is Thomas Jefferson Dubose (2) My address is: XXXXXXXXXX (3) I retired from the U.S. Air force in 1959 with the rank of Brigadier General. (4) In July 1947, I was stationed at Fort Worth Army Air Field [later Carswell Air Force Base] in Fort Worth, Texas. I served as Chief of Staff to Major General Roger Ramey, Commander, Eighth Air Force. I had the rank of Colonel. (5) In early July, I received a phone call from Maj. Gen. Clements McMullen, Deputy Commander, Strategic Air Command. He asked what we knew about the object which had been recovered outside Roswell, New Mexico, as reported in the press. I called Col. William Blanchard, Commander of the Roswell Army Air Field, and directed him to send the material in a sealed container to me at Fort Worth. I so informed Maj. Gen. McMullen. (6) After the plane from Roswell arrived with the material, I asked the Base Commander, Col. Al Clark, to take possession of the material and to personally transport it in a B-26 to Maj. Gen. McMullen in Washington, D.C. I notified Maj. Gen. McMullen, and he told me he would send the material by personal courier on his plane to Benjamin Chidlaw, Commanding General of the Air Material Command at Wright Field [later Wright Patterson AFB]. The entire operation was conducted under the strictest secrecy. (7) The material shown in the photographs taken in Maj. Gen. Ramey’s office was a weather balloon. The weather balloon explanation for the material was a cover story to divert the attention of the press. (8) I have not been paid or given anything of value to make this statement, which is the truth to the best of my recollection. Signed: T. J. Dubose Date: 9/16/91 Signature witnessed by: Linda R.

"There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself. “ - Daniel Inouye Senate Select Committee on Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition (Iran-Contra hearings) (1987)

Many other topics begin to make sense..
It has been said that after President Carter was finally briefed on the et reality, he was deeply upset. For several weeks..
MEANINGFUL congressional hearings, ala the Watergate hearings, including aerospace/defense contractors and others such as Bob Lazar, Andrew Basiago and Vice Admiral Thomas R. Wilson must be held to address a vital issue that transcends politics and we will never properly advance until it happens: The 75+yr ongoing-constitutionally illegal, EXTRATERRESTRIAL and associated TIME TRAVEL cover-ups. How can we truly believe anything our elected officials say?
The dog n pony shows must cease
asap
I've always thought this is an astounding vehicle, but why not have it on rails?
It has to do with the location of the KSC. By all accounts the KFC lies on lowland marsh, where you cannot dig down beyond a few feet without water seeping in.
That's why all the launch complexes are raised above ground, so that the flame diverters can work.
This entails having to create a slope for launch vehicles to travel up to get to the launch pad. Rail systems require a very specific slope (grade) to use, which is rise/run. In this instance, a launch vehicle would have to travel about 150 ft upwards, and for it to be able to go up on rails the ramp would have to be extremely long.
See the Soviets were able to get away with this by literally digging giant pits where the flame diverters were because they were on rocky soil.
Thanks E. S.. Good explanation of why rails were not used. I thought it was a weight issue. I never thought about having to go uphill to the launch site because of flame diverters.
back in time when Men built things to last and sheep were scared

An ESA video on a NASA piece of equipment? I guess they're looking for more glory for their small contribution to Artemis.
Not small.
As I see it by making a video about a NASA piece of hardware ESA is tipping its hat to America.

Ain't Nobody looking at the girl them out on God everybody looking at the woman Armani nobody looking at the rocket rocket rocket in this video everybody looking at the girl come on now just kidding but seriously though aren't god just kidding you just tripping bro haha just kidding come on bro everybody looking at the girl what's wrong with you now just kidding but nobody looking at the grill beaver real man come on we are looking at the one that no but seriously though what you looking at the woman or the girl I just want to look at that girl no no no I mean the rocket
I've been excited about NASA since the early days in the early 60s. It's a shame NASA has to deal with all the RED TAPE that's so costly and time consuming. Space X is what happens when the government doesn't control it.
Interesting that they call it a female when they say the weight of this machine, but yet I've never hear them call anything male that isn't heavy.
Ocean going ships have always been referred to using the feminine pronoun. It's an English tradition many centuries old. And it's sometimes applied to very large vehicles
The Big Boy locomotive is a "he" and it's heavy.
OK nasa, we believe u. Moon around 2050? Mars 2117? Greenland is taken. Time to multitask, and no more cartoons.
Shut it
So the RUclips genius emerges again. ❤️😀

Oh wow maybe by 2050 they will make it to the moon after 50 Trillion dollars on a rocket to be thrown away in the ocean. Good job nasa
You don't seem to be bothered by the 800 trillion your country spends in armaments though.
How many times will a rocket be launched using this? More than one?
