     Above someone stated that SLC-6 (or slick-6) was an acronym for
   the Shuttle Launch Complex-6. This does not seem correct. I mean
   why is it #6? and then

     What is SLC-7 then?
 
     One of the reasons I believe that SLC was shut down, was that
   the contractors did a lousy job using substandard parts. Among
   other things the plumbing was not up to the job required of it.
 
     Btw, does anyone know anything more about the Shuttle-C?
      Specifically, when is the first expected launch date?
      what size payload will it be able to carry?
      Stuff like that.
