All three cores landed successfully.
One hurdle remaining full re-usability, and that is the second stage. However, with the Starship development, they may never do that with the Falcon launch vehicles.
There were a lot of failures before the initial success of recovering the boosters. Would it make sense for SpaceX to retrieve the second stage first before trying to recover the upper stage of the Starship? It will be quite a loss to lose one of those. I suppose the first few will have to be considered expendable before they can declare it ready.
