Huge Success. This is a prototype. It was going to be thrown away next week regardless. Obviously long term the landing is very important. Just not today.
SN 9 is ready for testing in the next few weeks and has more design changes they need to test, so SN 8 is no longer needed. On the other hand the loss of the engines is a shame. They are by far the most expensive part of the vehicle and could have been used in later vehicles.
