Yep, made it off the pad and to the point when it should have separated. Once they figure out why it didn't separate and fix any other issues that come up when the data is studied, they ought to be there. Elon said the next attempt should be in a few months so I'm guessing they have extra components ready to assemble AND they have an intact launch pad and tower ready to go.

The Falcon 9/heavy had some failures too but now they go up every month or two without a hitch.

Rockets from the Falcon 9 family have been launched 223 times over 13 years, resulting in 221 full mission successes (99.1%)

The active version, Falcon 9 Block 5, has flown 162 missions, all full successes.

I’ve lived long enough to remember the jeers and mockery when Elon tried developing a rocket that would land after launch so it could be reused, thus saving on cost and material (because prior to that, the big orange fuel tank and twin white rocket boosters would burn up on reentry). The numerous failures were all on video.

Then, the process got mastered, to the amazement of all: literal science fiction, come to life.

Now it’s no big deal.
