A booster just left Hawthorne, it was staged at one of SpaceX's nearby lots for a couple hours. Presumably B1053 unless another core has shipped to McGregor since September 17th.

Shouldn't this be B1054?B1053 was in the final assembly line slot (i.e. the end of the line) at the BFR event on Sept 17th. It's possible that 53 already shipped to TX or that it was moved back in line, but moving boosters around on the factory floor is a massive work disruption and the last booster spotted coming from TX was likely B1050.

Don't recall this recent NASA photo being discussed (found somewhere on NSF). Anything interesting in the back ground?
Mystery core traveling eastbound through Wilcox (AZ?)...Seems to only have 5 out of 9 engines... https://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/9rw55i/falcon_9_eastbound_through_willcox/This transport is close to the Nov 1st prediction for core 1056, but the missing engines is puzzling..

Make sure to shift your schedule of cores accordingly, this has happened before and once this happens it is a mess to keep track of the boosters, one doesn't know which one is gonna appear next.
