The reuse fleet leader Falcon 9 for SpaceX was briefly Booster 1062. Briefly, because the landing included an unplanned fireball and a rapid disassembly of one of the landing legs.
No doubt you're already read about in your favorite textual source, and viewed and reviewed the video footage over and over, but here's a couple links anyway: <URL:https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/08/for-the-first-time-in-more-than-three-years-spacex-misses-a-booster-landing/>

The investigation is still underway, but under a finding of "not a danger to public safety", the FAA approved SpaceX's return-to-flight request. Booster 1069 launched and landed it's 18th flight, about 48 hours after B1062's last attempt, from Cape Canaveral. B1081 is less than an hour away from an attempt at Vandeberg.

Possible stand-down for SpaceX and mishap investigation after Crew 9's second
stage seems to have had a shortened re-entry burn. Debris impact in open ocean but outside the NOTAM area.
A tad embarrassing, and with possible delays for One Web (Vandenberg, Tuesday) and concerning for the two deep space launches coming up Real Soon ... Hera and Europa Clipper.
