I expect none, because the usual form is:
Three, two, one, [zero] [and] liftoff of space shuttle [name]...
For instance, STS-118 transcript: 3, 2, 1, Liftoff!

GEORGE DILLER: T minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, go for main engine start, four, three, two, one, zero and liftoff of Space Shuttle Endeavour, expanding the International Space Station while creating a classroom in space.
