Then in predawn darkness, officials gave the signal to start. Led by vehicles from the Los Angeles County sheriffs office (including a bomb-squad truck), accompanied by an extra tractor and back-up generator, and followed by two busloads of blue-vested Rockwell "handlers," who took turns walking alongside the craft, the convoy set out at a stately 4.8 kilometers (3 miles) per hour for Edwards...
