Well considering we already had a successful landing of sorts with SN10, I think this is a little premature. Yes, it exploded 8 minutes afterwards but it does not seem like that had much to do with the stresses of the landing manoeuvre. The raptor engine on the other hand does seem like something that they are far from mastering the production of. Being the first full flow staged combustion, methane fuelled orbital ready rocket means that there is less to directly compare to so I'm not surprised that they are having reliability issues with it. I am optimistic that they will eventually overcome these challenges but I'm less certain if they will be able to meet their projected schedule.
