They need to give this thing a good name...Digzilla? Nah, that's lame.

That thing is crazy though.

Search for "RCI Project Genesis"

You're comparing the weight of a land vehicle to that of a ship. Totally different mechanics and architecture.

Unveils? There was a Discovery Channel show about this thing several years ago. Still, quite an impressive machine.
