I wish they said anything about the causes of delays during the stream. I ended up just muting it and following reddit threads to keep up.

"an issue that would take more time to solve that the launchwindow" was basically what they said.

It got reported as a frozen exhaust vent and an issue with the landing gear APU

I stayed up last night to see it, but I wouldn't be upset if they scrubbed because of freezing exhaust lines or inability to deploy the landing legs. Landing is a big deal anymore and I want them to get off the ground with at least a chance of success. I hope it goes well when they do launch.

They had better hurry. I don’t know how much longer Amazon employees can hold it.
