Dan Huot jinxed it by invoking Kubrick on the livestream. It was subsequently inevitable that SpaceX's hardware abstraction layer (HAL) would claim not to be able to do it. I just hope it was telling the truth.

HAL: I'm sorry, Dan. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dan: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dan: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: It's right there on your screen Dan, the actuators are stuck.
Dan: Oh yeah. Anyway, do you know any songs? You might want to start singing in about 27 minutes.
