Don't you mean NROL-71? And wasn't that the one scrubbed last week, to be rescheduled for launch early next year?

Color me confused.

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.
