The door to the box that holds the air that makes your voice sound funny didn't work. Maybe it will work tomorrow and the part of the space car that falls of first will come back without crashing.
Yes, they'll be making another flyback and ocean landing attempt -- this time closer to shore and hopefully with a better signal to receive uncorrupted video! (The last time, the plane they were receiving the booster's telemetry from was too far from the landing site to get a clean signal).
Actually, some people on nasaforums.com made unbelievable progress in reconstructing the original landing video from the original raw corrupted stream. Here's the progress made so far:
I peeked in at the discussion about trying to recover more of the stream. It was pretty neat. Some of those folks really know their stuff when it comes to the bit-level details of video encoding. As I recall, a bunch of the errors in the stream ended up being fairly regular and identifiable/reversible with human intelligence, like repeated sequences of N flipped bits every M bits.
