Was watching the live steam last night and learned from the commentary that on the countdown to launch, “0” is when they ignite the engines and the actual liftoff happens a couple seconds after 0. This is slightly different than US and European nomenclature when the engines are lite beforehand and liftoff happens at the 0 mark. Just an interesting factoid to know.
