It wasn't poorly constructed 1. Incorrect. Several audits found significant quality control issues with the SLC-6 shuttle launch pad construction. 2. In addition, the water suppressant system was found to be incapable of preventing major damage during a shuttle launch and 3. the equipment would not have withstood the extra weight of a fully loaded shuttle after the 1986-1988 SRB redesign. All wrong and far way of base 1. This is no different than any other large project. And that is the point of the audits. The findings were corrected later ----------------- In other words, "Yes, I was wrong, there were problems, but I'm too arrogant to admit it. ----------------- 2. No, this was the H2 entrapment problem and a fix was found ---------------- No, the h2 entrapment problem was a separate issue. ---------------- 3. Totally wrong, it had nothing to do with the pad supporting the vehicle, it was due to loss of payload capacity -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC. |

I was countering the statement that SLC-6 was "poorly constructed" Every major construction has issues KSC had settling pads during construction SLC-6 seems to work fine for Delta IV |
