Did Intuitive Machines-1 Flop?

I have been watching the lunar landing of Intuitive Machines-1. I was perplexed. To summarize, there was a faint signal but it was not the strong transmission everybody was hoping was. There was some clapping and a CEO read (part) of their speech, which ended with "welcome to the moon". Is this a failure or a success or something in-between? Is this indicative of the Silicon Valley way of designing software and hardware and robots and rovers and rockets? Was this hacked? What do you think?
