Eight years ago every single booster was lost on every single launch, and now it's, "Oh no, one caught fire!
On the ground,
after an on-target landing,
after a successful payload delivery to orbit,
after four previous launches and successful recoveries of the same booster!
RELIABILITY CONCERNS!"
Falcon 9 recovery has become so routine now that anomalies are now notable. Not that it's a problem for the Falcon 9 program as a whole, but it's still sad to lose a booster. RIP B1086.
