[edit] Amiga computer game

I remember hearing about an old Amiga computer game that was about finishing a good shuttle mission. One part of this "realistic" simulation was a real-time sequence with the Crawler-Transporter, taking some monotonous eight hours to play, with only few things to do ("drive forward"). Does anyone know which game I mean? --Abdull 08:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

If you like that kind of game, you should try 50K Racewalker. --18.252.5.9 08:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bagger 288 vs Crawler-Transporter?

As we can see in the Krup's Bagger 288 page [Bagger288:] <quote> More specifically, it is a mobile strip mining machine. When its construction was completed in 1978, Bagger 288 superseded NASA's Crawler-Transporter, used to carry the Space Shuttle and Apollo missions, as the largest tracked vehicle in the world at 13,500 tons. It is the heaviest land vehicle. However, Bagger is powered from an external source and is more correctly described as a mining machine which can be moved, while the crawler-transporter was built as a self-powered, load-carrying vehicle. </unquote>

So, the question is: what machine is the biggest one?

[edit] TV and other informative appearances

The crawler was recently on an episode of Dirty Jobs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.190.222.115 (talk) 04:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contrdiction

The tacked-on statement in the references section contradicts the main article. What are the nick names for the transporters, and will they be retired or upgraded? Adam850 08:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Crawler-transporter

Shouldn't it be Crawler-Transporter, with a capitalized "T"? --DavidDCM (talk) 12:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
