Thanks Ed! Both sad and exciting at the same time...

My guess is since one MLP is already in the park with the Ares/SLS MLP,  they wanted it out of the way of the VAB work.

Quite a poignant moment there - 39A and the Crawler/MLPs share so much rich history. But now they are separated forevermore, never to be reunited.
I am an optimist but I wouldn't be so sure they will never be back to 39A... :)

AND... thanks to Ed and all for the great images and movies.
