And they're "flight proven" with multiple past launches, so it's not like this is the first time the engines have fired. Do you static fire a 747 before takeoff?

>>12604800
>Do they static fire these engines before they launch these bad boys? Is that part of the turnaround procedure?
Usually they do. However for recent Starlink launches (their own payloads) on reused boosters, they began not doing static fire.
