Center booster ran out of triethylborane and could not restart two of three engines required for a controlled decent to the drone ship LZ.

That’s correct, however the two boosters landing together in perfect synchronicity is pretty awesome, and now there’s a red sports car orbiting the sun!

Center booster ran out of triethylborane Dang ... that's a crappy reason to lose a booster. Wonder if too much got used on launch ... engines were balky on re-start ... other?
Telemetry probably told them how much they used on each engine start ... Be interesting to see how that turns out.
Rest of the flight was simply awesome.

They should use the reverse boost to slow descent and then use a chute
