Landed on target in the Indian Ocean! Engines relit successfully and it touched down vertically (and then promptly exploded, which I guess was the plan :)

I thought it exploded after it landed?

Well, yes, it landed in the ocean by design and toppled over because that's what happens when you land a 50m tall spaceship vertically in water.

That was expected. It’s not meant to land on water.

That's the expected result for this test flight.
