SLS Full Duration Test Fire

NASA wanted to static fire their main booster on a mapped flight profile for 8 minutes. This attempt was aborted due to a component failure in the hydraulic steering system after a little more than 60 seconds.

First Full Test Of SLS Booster Fails as Engines Trigger Emergency Shutdown.

Where it gets tricky is that the SLS booster has a limited lifetime of 1 year in a stacked configuration and the tanks can only be refilled 9 times. If this failed test delays progress by a significant amount, the whole program could run into serious trouble.
