I think I'm more impressed that they even hit the landing pad. Even if they didn't land softly and recoverably, at the very minimum they proved they could control the rocket enough to hit a very small target. That in and of itself make this whole thing a success to me. They'll get the recoverability next time.
At least they're on the right track. Baby steps.
