I don't get it.  Where does Toyota come into the story of the space shuttle?

Did you read the article?

Twice now.  Still no mention of Toyota that I can find.

A Toyota is the truck pulling the shuttle.

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.

Ditto.

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.

I was starting to wonder if MSNBC was pranking me or something.

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 >
