The plan was a range. On one end of the spectrum, Starship detonates on the pad and they have learned very little and have a year of work to do rebuilding the pad. On the other end of the spectrum, everything works flawlessly and Starship survives re-entry and smacks into the ocean off of Hawaii. They achieved a result in the middle. Neither total failure nor total success, and well within their stated expectations for this attempt.
