Wasn’t that SpaceX thing a test of their recoverable stage?

Heard something about steering vanes glitch. Guess they can glide it back to where they want, except when it goes boom.

This was a new version of their first stage for testing. The test was done in Texas. I haven’t seen a report stating the cause, but from watching the video I’d say it was an engine problem.
