As you may be aware, NASA is having a problem with the Crawler Transporter, which is decades old.

I've heard that once the shuttle fleet is ready for lift-off, they are going to temporarily use a recently refurbished one, which pre-dates Apollo.

Have a look. http://grin.hq.nasa.gov/IMAGES/SMALL/GPN-2000-001693.jpg

Hey Frank could that be an early "Hummer" prototype pulling that rocket?
Wait a minute, .... is that Haleakala in the background? What are you up to Frank?
Your neighbor,

OK, that may indeed be Goddard...but I still think I would have that baby pointed the other way! Everytime I go back to look at that picture I expect to see Moe, Larry, and Curly in the driver's seat!
