If you would just lift the 120 seconds between likes for mods I'd be all over likeing that!
It is nice to see equipment that was used for important things in the past for spaceflight now being used for important things now and into the future!! Also shows that NASA ground equipment was always top notch without having to be replaced due to use. How many ships/rockets have those crawlers seen in their lifetime? Just goes to show when you build it well...things will last a LONG time. I also think SpaceX got quite a deal at only 37K.
