Just saw the splash down. I think this was 100% successful test.

Yes, although one booster engine failed at the start. Not a big deal. :)

They said ahead of time they were shutting one booster engine down to test redundancy.

They did that too, but they also had an early engine failure. No big deal, they're redundant, and the booster they caught during flight 8 suffered worse.
