SL6 was built, kinda poorly and abandoned for shuttle launches
That is a load of bunk. It wasn't poorly constructed
Incorrect. Several audits found significant quality control issues with
the SLC-6 shuttle launch pad construction. In addition, the water
suppressant system was found to be incapable of preventing major damage
during a shuttle launch and the equipment would not have withstood the
extra weight of a fully loaded shuttle after the 1986-1988 SRB redesign.
