An indicator field which tells that rocket is under development.

Open pavles6 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Hey, looking at starship, it would be nice to have some field that's indicating that the rocket is currently under the development, since it's showing active: false. e.g. falcon 1 also returns active: false, but yeah that rocket is really no longer in use, contrary to starship. I'm using this API just recently, hopefully I haven't missed something that would solve my need.

Agreed, should have a bit more context.

Maybe instead of just a under_development boolean, this should be a new status field. Could have a enum list of potential values:

under_development
active
retired

Exactly, agreed.

For what it's worth, I came to this project hoping to find the location of Booster 7 at the moment. Expected some kind of enum like "production facility", "boca chica orbital launch mount" or "tall bay" or whatever keys might be used for those now.
