I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying. I know after use in flight they were toast. I am saying that when they assembled the engine they did not test to make sure it worked before they put the engine in the launch vehicle and then launched it. The test occurred in flight when they needed it. hey could not test the engine because the fuel was to corrosive.
