The Wright Brothers and Wernher von Braun had problems too. It’s baked into the cake.

...claimed that a hydrazine valve in the propulsion system failed to close properly at the end of the test...

Granted a fuel leak is not good, and hydrazine is nasty stuff but... As problems go, a valve problem is fairly simple and probably relatively easy to address compared to most of the things that could go wrong.

Well hell, do they want it to launch or abort? No wonder they have a problem.
