Considered a success because the stated goal was to reach stage separation which it did successfully pass through.
Considered a success because it wasn't meant to reach orbit, but was meant to splash down in the Pacific. My man, it did neither of those things.
- Considered a success because the only issue they had was being forced to destroy it because it was off course.
  
  Which is obviously the correct decision and says nothing about the proof of concept.
Rocket fall down Mr Musk.
