Well they solved the launchpad issues and had a successful first stage and hot stage separation. Booster then exploded rather than land. Starship proceeded to orbit then was lost so they couldn't get it to land in Hawaii as planned.
I guess they are getting better.
Update: Starship exploded in orbit.

More junk floating around in space. It's a wonder the aliens can get through it all.

You may as well say a complete failure, crew carrying part lost, booster exploded.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche
