Com: Techreviev : Instead of paying 23 million to tra sport something how bought you pay 5 million just to build a manufacturing plant where the place you want the thing..
Com: Sebrad field: The 747 used for the Space Shuttle wasn't made just to carry the last shuttle to a museum.
The modified jet was used from the beginning to carry the shuttles to a variety of places.
I'm surprised there's no mention of NASA's Mobile Launcher Platform.
It only carried the rockets from the assembly building to the launch pad, but it carried the complete Apollo Saturn V and the Space Shuttle.
The MLP itself weighs 4,119 tons, and the Saturn V ready to launch weighed 3,270 tons.
Though they made it routine, I'd say it was epic.
