it was extremely close, such a shame. i have been watching their launches live and it was such a shame to see the failure in July (i believe that was when it was). but they are definitely improving their landing. compared to the other landing failures they have had, this was unbelievably close. watching the successful landing live was amazing, i am surprised at how little coverage it got, that is a game changer!

Elon mentioned that it was likely caused by ice build up due to the fog conditions prior to launch, not on re-entry, it must have then damaged something prior to lift off
