Looking at the way it landed, the landing "gear" isn't strong and and stable enough for actually landing at sea, and if the winds are even slightly too high.....

Buckling failure of the landing gear. It landed properly, but their engineers are apparently only good at static FEA analysis using theoretical (low) force values.

it wasn't structural failure. It was caused by a latching mechanism becoming seized because of frozen condensation. In short, there wasn't anything holding the leg from moving back up. Wasn't a buckling failure.

Elon says the leg failed to lock due to ice build up while the rocket was on the launch pad

Near enough to a structural failure.

Actually, its pretty far away from being considered a structural failure.

And the US gov seems to have stopped, so now we have to rely on the wealthy. Luckily we have one of the few wealthy people that are not bad working on it.

This is a design fail. When their rocket blew up do to one of the internal struts failing that was a structural fail.

Why did the notification for you quoting me pop up, it never gives me a notification. Odd.

I like how Musk is determined enough to keep on trying to land the vehicle on the barge, despite all these failures. They'll get it some day.

The rocket is a structure.

And it failed as a structure.

Structure + Failure = Structural Failure.

You can do simple maths, right?

cant they just make a stable platform instead of a barge?

Depending on the desired orbit the rocket travels a different trajectory, which would require multiple platforms instead of a single barge. Also the barge want the problem here.
