United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL — Technicians moved the cumber some space shuttle Columbia to its launch pad 39 minutes early Tuesday to avoid a storm. Securely anchored to a giant eight-tread tractor, the Col umbia slowly left the towering Vehicle Assembly Building at 4:21 a.m. EST instead of its scheduled 5 a.m. departure. “Forecasters said a storm was supposed to hit about 2 p.m. so we advanced the rollout a little early,” said Mark Hess, a spokes man for the National Aeronau tics and Space Administration. “We wanted to get the shuttle to the launch pad before the storm hit.” The agonizingly slow S'/a- mile trek from the 525-foot tall assembly building to the ocean- front launch pad takes about eight hours, which would allow several hours leeway before the storm. Huge floodlights hit the over cast skies as the Columbia traveled slowly with armedJ diers guarding the way. Aw 100 people, mostly medial space personnel, watched.
