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.

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.

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)

At stage separation how horizontal is Starship? If there was no vertical moment then how significant would the gravity loss actually be?

AFAIK most of the gravity loss is in the first few second of a launch but I don't have any idea what you are losing by the time you get to stage separation.
