@DumbYankies Various required stages can be built horizontally in different assembly halls, delivered horizontally by locomotive, and then hoisted into position by a crane apparatus that never leaves the vicinity of its launch pad.
Personally I can do without a theatrical pagan phallic symbol display. It does nothing for me, and America is bankrupt and can’t afford profligacy.

@skatebmxtom NASA is a big phallic symbol display of Bread & Circuses for the slaves. The program itself has been so watered down, that what remains is a travesty; a mockery.

@osallent keep on dreaming.

@skatebmxtom sorry that should have been "cant" move big rockets horizontally. Dont get me wrong, for something in the soyuz class it makes sense. The old US titan and new US falcon work the same way.

@skatebmxtom one problem. You can move huge rockets lying down and then lift them over. The soyuz is not that big. The Saturn and Shuttle are. When the russians tried to launch the N1 (their equivalent of the Saturn V) they had endless problems with cracking caused by horizontal rail handling.

ASCENSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What's the deal with whose space program is better? Who cares?
Both the Russians and Americans are partners in the International Space Station and will hopefully continue to work together for the betterment of mankind.
The future in space is about partnerships to accomplish together what one nation alone can't do.

the way they transport their vehicles is a lot more effective and efficient than the crawlers that nasa use. nasa ones go about 4 miles an hour or something stupid like that good video (Y)
