#4   Fuel header tank pressure was low during landing burn, causing touchdown velocity to be high & RUD, but we got all the data we needed! Congrats SpaceX team hell yeah!!

#1  Absolutely beautiful flight until landing. Came in half on and half off the pad a little fast with a amazing explosion.
For a test flight I give it %90.
He has five or more test platforms waiting to fly.
I would not be surprised to see the landing successful on the next flight and nailed on the one after. Aerodynamic surfaces and fins worked perfectly.
