the last video seems promising, except they skipped the landing part :)
Hard landing? Soft landing? No landing at all more like!
Unfortunately it looks like the landing was unsuccessful.
Which inexplicably isn't know for soft landings
Did the "experimental landing" work this time?
any link to footage of the actual landing?
No telemetry data since about 10 minutes starting just as it was about to land. Looks like it didn't make it.

Landing on another planet with the rocket's first stage?
Suggestion of improvement: landing should only be successful if lateral velocity is inside a limit.
