SpaceX was cruising right along with their new transporter, purchased from NASA. We have seen photo of it hauling Space Shuttle. We are sure SpaceX will be getting a lot of use from it. Hopefully they give it a name.We are a US disabled veteran run, non profit video production company who’s mission is to bring other disabled US Veterans to witness a launch, experience US Space History and become part of our report.

That’s quite the police chase.
Damn it! I was late to work because a rocket got in my way!
is there any footage of the FH being transported? guess they have a bigger truck for that?
It's truly amazing what you can achieve when you keep the stupidity of the government out of it.
I hope several dozen impatient liberals stuck behind this realize this is progress moving, things they abhor.
“What did you do at work today daddy? “
“I drove a Falcon 9 rocket down Main Street!”
Wow, what a job! I’d love to be part of Space X or Tesla.
Please can you acquire a wind muffler for you camera please
Nothing to see here. Just a rocket going on the road
it may be small compared to the big famous crawler transporter but it's still pretty huge
I hope they pull over every now and then and let the impatient man in the brown-gray sedan pass…
Used rocket section(s)???
I'm missing the "I brake for nobody" sticker in the back! 🙂
The car from the men with small dick
What I really like about Mr Musk is, that he always stated the situation of climate and the civilization as critical. Maybe that is because of his good relations to NASA, which stated that it is already to late for a change… i hope for the best
Wow this is really cool! At the rate Space X is going Jef Bezos will have to give up his space missions. He is being left behind really quick lol!
Never thought I would be happy to be paying PayPal fees but now I just want to pay more :).
NASA used it to haul shuttle parts now they are leasing it to Space X as a transporter erector.
This video would be a lot better if it didn't flip between the left and right camera view every 10 seconds.
Bit sad really that Nasa doesn't seem to want to be part of the future of space exploration. What happened?
I always thought they'd make a mobile strongback. Something that can back up to the rocket, attach and then go vertical without the use of cranes.
That's my PayPal money there.
looks like a safer/more stable way to transport than on the back of a semi.
Didnt that truck carry the… Space shuttle?
Is this thing cheaper for them to use than the truck/trucks they've been using? It looks like it needed lots of TLC from the auction page.

Would move a lot quicker if they just fired up one of the Merlins
will Tesla make an electric transporter for them?
Why the lower part of the rocket gets dirty dark to an exactly point ?. Seems like the rest of the rocket has a different surface or paint. I wonder why they don't paint the whole rocket with the same paint and get the whole rocket clean at entry.
What is happening at the 5 minute mark? Sounds horrible.
Nice.
It does have a name, Orbiter Transporter System (OTS). Could have been yours for $37K. http://gsaauctions.gov/gsaauctions/aucdsclnk?sl=41QSCI14307001
If they lit the engines it would travel a bit faster
It's so top, aft heavy & slow, they must have been desperate to get rid of Beyel Bros Heavy Haul. It needs a few more wheels in back & a bigger engine.
I'll take it they then put it on a truck bed to take it to Texas? I wonder why they also strap the centre engine? Footage from when they place in on the truck shows it's strong enough to support itself.
Go Spacex. But, wouldn't want to be stuck in that traffic jam
Drives pretty nicely, eh? LOL
wow!
