That's the second largest land vehicle in the world at 2700 tons! Fuel consumption is 150gpm (Gallons per mile!!!) |

I presume this is archive footage? |

No, this is real. They even filmed some scenes on an airplane in high atmostspheres in order to get the real weightlessness rather than having the actors move around in a slo-mo fashion. -- Last edit: 2006-12-10 00:39:47 |

Low mileage, first owner. The pair of crawlers, officially named KSC Crawler Transporters, has just made a little over 2,500 miles in the last 43 years. They will also be used for the Ares rockets of the post Space Shuttle era. The first crawler, named 'Hans', was delivered November 1st, 1964, the second, 'Franz', in 1965. Due to the high costs of $14 million each they were nicknamed 'Them Golden Slippers'. This shows the size a little better: ![[Image: crawlertransporter14b4brb5.4426.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is209/crawlertransporter14b4brb5.4426.jpg) |

The IMDB says: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0112384/trivia I would guess that the crawler, tower and rocket are all computer graphic models added to a real shot of the roads. |

Excellent movie, just the only real complaint is the use of props/simulated scenes of the Saturn 5 launch instead of archival footage, a serious mistake in my opinion as a career rocket engineer. It would cost next to nothing vs fake looking props so WHY!? I wish Ron Howard would explain unless it was a mistake. Oh well, a great movie, Thank You, Ken |

Archive film would probably be very grainy after being cropped and enlarged to fit the widescreen format, especially if it was originally filmed in 16mm. |
