“An incredibly successful day, even though we did have a ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly’ both of the Super Heavy booster and the ship,” SpaceX quality engineering manager Kate Tice said on the webcast.

Progress is how you measure success with Test flights. Getting good data is needed since the start of the Rocket program back in the 1940s

The test was a success after Hot Staging. The Engine Restart and Second stage burn were bonus

the Flight Termination systems were tested, and were more successful than the first launch.

Might even get #IFT3 by early next year.
