From the video stream, it looks like it reached orbit (?) without any problems.

  Yes. The mission component reached orbit in a very un-eventful fashion. :) What we are really holding out for is tidbits about the actually fully new component of the rocket.. it's stage 1 recovery system.. if it's as mature as the grasshopper tech looks it probably was 100% successful but it's probably going to be a little bit before they let people in on how it went.

    'Partial Success' for Falcon 9 First Stage Re-entry: http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1ne36t/partial_success_for_falcon_9_first_stage_reentry/ http://www.reddit.com/r/spacex/comments/1ne36t/partial_succe... Key points: * 1st stage rolled, causing the fuel to centrifuge, shutting down the engine early * 2nd stage couldn't be restarted
