United Launch Alliance and the government do not want a launch failure (and another black eye). The payload is a very, very expensive satellite. They are taking no chances. If the launch has to be scrubbed a half dozen times it is worth it as long as it gets up into orbit correctly.

I’m wondering if there’s nuclear armament aboard this satellite or radioactive material of some sort.. They seem VERY tentative about this launch!
