There was a methane leak at the base after landing, but there were no catastrophes. Clearly the flip maneuver works.

Probably feeling the pressure from Blue Origin's New Shepard. Both of course pale next to SpaceX's progress.

Rocket Lab Electron 2nd Stage Failed - Loss of Payload (twitter.com)

From the live stream, it appears that the 2nd stage motor started, then stopped a couple of seconds later. If so, I'm guessing a sudden loss of power to the electric propellant pumps.

ETA: Appears to have spun hard shortly after staging.

Crossed the US definition for the boundary to space, but not the FAI's Karman Line. Still, passengers experienced around 3 minutes of zero G.
