Space-x makes history

I was watching their webcast of tonight's Falcon9 launch and attempt to land the first stage. They nailed the landing! This is the first time a rocket going into orbit recovered the first stage for possible reuse.

This is a major achievement and a milestone for space flight. If we can perfect this kind of launch and landing we can improve space exploration making it more practical and economical.
