This is a really great achievement: SpaceX successfully launched a rocket and deployed 11 satellites after failing earlier this year. But best of all, they landed the first stage back on earth! Consider the actual physics involved, mind boggling.

It is a nice achievement indeed. However not sure it is a good idea on the long term. The main idea behind the Space shuttle was planed to be cheaper with reusable components: it proves to be both more expensive and less safe. Time will tell us.
