Why the barge landing when the land one succeeded?

Bad news. Lots of hardware on the pad that is extremely expensive (and not fast) to replace. Going to screw up their entire launch schedule. Boeing might beat them to the ISS with a manned ship after all.

i know it didn't need the emergency escape mechanism, but don't they have that? seems like a perfect way to have saved some cargo
