Yeah, that's the space shuttle transport.  It's quite impressive up close.  As is the Saturn V rocket.

[Mechatrommer]

oil tankers and JFK destroyer are also big.

Actually that was originally built for the Apollo missions, and has been used ever since for all transport to and from the VAB by NASA. Impressive is that it can hold a multi thousand ton load absolutely normal to the surface even though the roadway it is on is never really level or consistently canted.  1960's tech, all hydraulic and simple robust control systems that are probably very hard to replicate, but which do the job so well still.
