"It is around 1500 tonnes .....................about 44 semi-trailers"
Time you went back to school and learnt the difference between tare and gross weight.
Do you really think the 44 semi-trailers weigh next to bugger all and are stuctually able to carry a load close to 20 times their tare weight?
And you think I'm angry?
No .................... I just don't like people that are ignorant, stupid and "World Authorities" all at the same time.................... and to top it off .............still be wrong.
You say you worked for NASA ....................... well it wasn't in anything to do with Maths as you can't even work out what the payload and vehicle weight combined adds up to.
Let me get you started
1,500 tons divided by 44 loads is circa 34 tons per loaded semi
US gross vehicle mass comes in at circa 35.7 tons (80,000lbs)
You do the rest Mr NASA Genius................ a 1.7 ton Semi is only in your fantasy world and no where else.
