Aside from the separation failure, it also appeared three of 33 Raptor engines failed to ignite at liftoff.

Despite the hardware issues, Elon Musk's company SpaceX largely considers the mission a success – teams were initially hoping to see the rocket's engines ignite, then clear the tower. Anything else meant extra data for engineers to review.
