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.

Yes. Looks like it ignited and ran correctly for the first few minutes though.
