Cars on a Texas highway found themselves in an unusual situation, not due to a regular traffic jam but because of a massive SpaceX rocket cruising down the road.
This isn’t your typical roadblock – it was a real-life rocket from SpaceX’s Starbase facility.
The sight left drivers and passengers in amazed as they watched the colossal rocket being transported.
After all, it’s not every day that you see a rocket cruising through your neighborhood.

Massive SpaceX rocket on the streets of Texas
The incredible scene was captured in a video posted on Instagram by dallastexas_tv, credited to Heather J Garza.
Watching a rocket cruising the roads of Texas is even more impressive than watching an F-15 being transported on road, which we have also seen in the not-too-distant past.
The rocket was moved using a massive crawler-transporter, a specialized vehicle designed to carry heavy loads.
Costing around $130 million, these machines are some of the biggest vehicles in the world.
These transporters are equipped with tracks and a powerful engine, making them capable of safely and steadily moving extremely heavy and oversized objects like rockets.
The crawler-transporter’s job is to ensure the rocket reaches its destination without damage, especially over long distances.
Hilarious comments on the video
The video of the rocket transport attracted plenty of attention and amusing comments on social media.
One user joked: “Imagine they hit a pothole.”
True, that would be a serious issue.
Another quipped” “Elon Musk just moving his things into Texas.”
A third wrote: “Hey Boss, I’m late for work, there’s a rocket on the street.”
SpaceX’s vision for the future is as massive as the rocket in this video, and recently, Starship even completed its full test flight.
As the company continues to grow, we might witness even more extraordinary sights on the roads.
