NASA has two big vehicles called crawlers: the shuttle gets lifted vertically onto the top of these crawlers, attached to the other rockets, then the crawler 'crawls' to the launch "site" where takeoff happens. so technically, the launch "pad" is the top of the crawler, so the shuttle got to the "pad" on a crane, but got to the launch "site" on top of the nasa crawler.
