NASA’s incredible rovers, landers, and satellites tend to get the bulk of the attention because, well, they’re awesome machines. But there’s one vehicle in NASA’s arsenal that is incredibly cool despite the fact that it never actually leaves Earth. It’s the Super Guppy, and it’s an absolute joy to see.
When you need to transport something as large as a spacecraft, and you need to do it in a hurry, there’s no better option than a plane designed to carry pieces of other planes. The Super Guppy is a marvel of 1960s-era engineering, and NASA still relies on it today. On Sunday, the space agency dusted it off and used it to haul the Orion spacecraft from Kennedy Space Center to Mansfield Lahm Airport in Ohio.
