I just can't get rid of the image of Nelson Muntz in my mind.

Turns out Athena toppled over and died on landing yesterday. WTF? We landed men on the moon over 55 years ago, but now we can't land a spacecraft on it without it toppling over? Apparently, we can't deal with rocks.

Was that the rocket that he was going to bring the stranded astronauts home in?

I'm just glad pieces of that thing happened to fall over the ocean and not populated areas. Isn't that what happened before? How do they manage to do that?! It did look like debris fell very close to a boat though. @HermitHogan I agree with you.

Musk said it was just a minor setback.

They test to failure. Here’s a video of rocket failures from the early 1960’s.
