12:48 am -- We're watching a live stream from NASA's YouTube channel, holding at a T-Minus 10-minute count. Announcer mentioned that the window for launch would open at 1:04 am where, I'd guess, if conditions are favorable, they'll restart the countdown to launch. This is an unmanned launch by the way but it will kinda be carrying a memento from me.
12:51 am -- An interviewer is questioning spectators assembled at a viewing stand, I guess in Titusville, and they are talking about their enthusiasm for this first rocket launch to the moon since 1972.
12:54 am -- There are exactly 346,719 watching on this stream. Announcer saying they are placing launch in an indefinite hold and he doesn't hammer down an exact ETA now but it might mean a scrub. I personally have to get up in the morning so I can't stay up too, too late so fingers crossed.
12:57 am -- Hey, as usual, it's time to check out some of the thousands of comments in chat whizzing by. I'll have to dip in, copy, and paste to grab what I can...

12:59 am -- Looks like a lot of folks assuming a scrub for tonight (well, actually, this early morning).
1:01 am -- The T-minus 10-minutes counter is off the screen. Here's an explanation in chat from NASA: The pre-launch hold built into the countdown has been extended. When a new T-0 is available it will be shared immediately.
1:03 am -- Just about the time the countdown would have been started, I guess. How's the crowd feel?

1:07 am -- Chat is rather tame. They're all just anxious about the thing getting going. I can't blame them, this is my second time watching and waiting for this thing to go off.
1:09 am -- Dude started a cool animated presentation of what the rocket will be going through after launch:
1:18 am -- Tryin' to stay up but I've gotten two nights of poor sleep due to insomnia, possibly attributed to my new Jardiance med. Need to get at least 5 hours of sleep so, I'll wait just a bit longer.
1:22 am -- More chit-chat with the crazy night owl crowds sitting out on the stands, maybe it's at the KSC Visitor's Center viewing stands where I was when I filmed this launch. Chat's gettin' disenchanted:

Try turning it off and the back on. Recharge the Illuduim Q-36 Space Modulator. Come on NASA. Stop wasting our time. N. Korea is laughing at us.

1:29 am -- Announcing that they may be about three and a half minutes away from polling something or other. Not sure what it means. Saying at 3:04 am, window would close so if no launch before then, then it'll be postponed.
1:33 am -- Dude says "There are no constraints to launch." So I guess that's good, right?
1:35 am -- "EGS Officer: Go for launch, Range weather: Go for Launch, Mission Manager: Go to proceed with terminal count. Launch Director: Go to enter count and launch Artemis 1."
1:41 am -- Peanut Gallery?:
