Not sure how an innocent "Ho-hum" got interpreted as a lack of interest - staying up until 0045L on a school night not as trivial an undertaking as it used to be

Musk said on social media that the delay was caused by a malfunctioning hydraulic pin on part of the launch tower.

"If that can be fixed tonight, there will be another launch attempt tomorrow at 5:30 CT [22:30 GMT]," he added.
New everything so no real surprise that one part of that long and complex chain failed. Did sound like they were having issues retracting the service arm on the feed.

Another late night beckons!
