You mean the platform? They built that thing?
How can you tell?

No, that was built by NASA and is self-powered. No towing required.

Weird. The original article made it clear it was a Toyota thing.

I never went back to re-read it as I just remembered it from my first read through.

Okay, it's not just me then.

Ah, it seems that at one point it WAS so towed, but it was for a commercial and wasn't the whole way: http://www.usatoday.com/story....1631235
