Made all those changes, what do people think?

There are still some grammar mistakes: "entered the orbiter at the an umbilical disconnect" -> "entered the orbiter at the umbilical disconnects" for one. Otherwise its quite good.
From the article..."In addition, an oxidizer post, which had been intentionally plugged, came loose inside an engine's main injector and impacted the engine nozzle inner surface rupturing a hydrogen cooling line allowing a leak and resulting in a premature engine shutdown due to increased propellant consumption."

The oxidizer post itself did not detach. Three nozzle cooling passages were breached.

The design for the SLS features the RS-25 on its core stage, with four different versions of the rocket - Block 0, I, IA & II - being installed with varying numbers of engines (3, 4, 4-5 & 5 respectively).
