Interesting note: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1760882381148623202#m
I didn't know that the engine flight leader numbers were higher than the booster flight leaders. I wonder how this occurred?
I assumed that they swapped out engines only when they needed refurbishment, and that the engines would always have fewer flights than the boosters. I guess some older engines have been reinstalled in younger boosters?

OCISLY towed by Debra C is making 5.5 knots and currently about 60km (30 nautical miles) off the Mexican coast: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?mmsi=368351350 (MARMAC 304 is the original registered name of OCISLY)

Thanks for posting this thread! It looks great!
Spaceflight Now has a livestream link too now, which you could add: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmHTtpdEoTA
You might want to adjust the dateful link, as it seems to be pointing to 23:11 on Thursday, rather than 04:11 on Friday.

Thanks. The date link was a bit wrong but seems to give the correct result: https://dateful.com/convert/utc?t=2011&d=2024-02-23T04:11
I didn't notice the t=2011 argument and just appended T04:11 to the d argument. Seems to work ok for me.

Huh, that's odd. This is what I see:
Also, if you could add the Spaceflight Now and Space Devs links to the table in the main post, that would be great!

Thanks again for helping out with this thread!

Spaceflight Now and Space Devs links added. I've also fixed the dateful link. I think it might have been the & that was also messed up and may be resolved differently by different browser - anyway I hope it is fixed now.
