Plus it did land on the barge. Most of the debris should be there, though the remaining fuel would have mainly gone overboard. Probably the flight termination explosives also.
That’s impressive, I do wonder if they have some estimated lifespan for each rocket or how many times it’s reusable. Unless they intend to just keep using it with minimal to no maintenance at all. Which I guess would eventually lead to this.
Most rockets crash into the ocean with all their contents on purpose. This one flew 23 times before finally shitting the bed on this landing.

Yea the previous goal was 10 flights, now the goal is send it until something breaks.
Big advantage of having a built in customer (starlink)
