The Spacex satellite launch was good but the landing failed.
Ascent phase & satellites look good, but booster rocket had a RUD on droneship

Looks like thrust was low on 1 of 3 landing engines. High g landings v sensitive to all engines operating at max.

RUD = Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly :)

Upgrades underway to enable rocket to compensate for a thrust shortfall on one of the three landing engines. Probably get there end of year.
