The launch is controlled by three independent computers that for safety reasons have to agree at all times. Four minutes before launch one appears to have gotten into an argument with the other two and decided it wasn't going to talk to them until they apologised.
Engineers on site seem to be resigned. "I'm married with four kids", said one. "This might take a while."
