It does! The take-off temperature is a very big concern, how much chilling of the rocket needs to happen etc. The ground support equipment I gather is also complex, although I think storage and transport of all those sorts of fuels around tank farms is much more of a solved problem, I suspect you could buy much of it off the shelf (not that NASA would, but SpaceX seem to be buying regular commercial equipment for theirs).
