Time lapse of the NASA TV feed of the rollout of Space Shuttle Atlantis for mission STS-129 to launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center on October 14, 2009.
This video is at approximately 60 times actual speed.

Compare this laborious Shuttle rollout to the beautiful simplicity of Falcon9 rollout (which holds the same amount of astronauts). Its expensive to stack a rocket and roll it out upright like Shuttle. Falcon9 is assembled horizontal and pointed up when its ready to launch.
