Incredible that we can now launch into space and return the carrier missile to earth safely for re-use.
Or should I say yesterday

wow all over in 9 minutes,couldnt get my head around the re entry, i thought objects had to re enter at around 35 degress or they end up as ash but this thing virtually came straight back down

It is absolutely incredible how they've managed to accomplish this yet I do wonder how much money is saved doing it this way to get a charred but reusable launch rocket back when I would've thought the way to go would be invest in a similar concept to the space shuttle but that could maybe take off like a plane as well as land like one.
You could have a fleet of them, some for delivering satellites, some for study or travel to moons/planets.
A bit like Thunderbirds.
