Core serials differ between launch data and core lookup

[waterskier2007]

disclaimer: might be the same for capsules

example

https://api.spacexdata.com/v2/launches/latest

The core serial is listed as B1032.2 but if you then hit https://api.spacexdata.com/v2/parts/cores/B1032.2

It's incorrect. The serial is actually B1032

If it makes sense to suffix the serial with a .X for number of flights, that could be a separate field.

Looks like the latest launches core serial was a mistake, I haven't been listing the number of reuses in the core serial, since it would make a unique number each time, making it harder to compare against.

We could add a new field for the number of previous flights of the core for each launch, but the data should already be in the detailed core data.

@jakewmeyer ok, just checked and it looks good now. I'll leave the decision about reuse numbers up to you.

I'll go ahead and add it in the core section for each launch, I think it's valuable info to have 👍

Trying to decide on a good name for the field...

flown?

[jakewmeyer]

Flown sounds more like a boolean value though, instead of an incremental amount. Maybe flights?

[petrosh]

flights is great 👍

[jakewmeyer]

Added the field for past and upcoming launches, slight adjustment from flights to flight for clarity 👍
