   Today's SLS Green Run test ended prematurely.  It was supposed to fire   
   for something like 8 minutes to simulate a full duration burn on an   
   actual flight.  It only got to something like a minute and 20 seconds   
   when it shutdown.  Wane Hayle tweeted that he heard "MCF" (Major   
   Component Failure) called out.   
      
   It will be interesting to find out what failed.  Could have been   
   something as minor as a sensor dying or as bad as the RS-25 engine   
   dying.  Will also be interesting to see if NASA declares the test a   
   success and ships the stage to KSC after such a short test.
