I’m curious, how are you counting these to get 149 total landing attempts? I understand the 138 successes but I’m counting 154 total landing attempts in this list, 10 of which intentionally targeted the ocean instead of a pad or ship, so 144 total recovery attempts. Maybe I’m miscounting or missing some hidden logic.

Dick Eagleson

The line-item detail is interesting and valuable, but it would also be nice to have totals for all attempts, all successes and current number of consecutive successes (length of winning streak). Ideally, those three numbers would be part of each line item showing their values as of the date of each individual attempt and, if successful, landing. Say the word and I’ll make a run at compiling such numbers myself for all past attempts and send them to you.

Dick Eagleson

Right you are.
