must be an absolute pisser. Imagine standing with your foot on the edge of the capsule, ready to go up to what is either going to write your name into history or spread you over an incredibly wide area, and be told "nah, sorry guv. Wait another hour..."

Would you not just be like "agh goddamit I'm going up and weather be damned!"
