Today,Space X’s Falcon 9 made it’s first successful first stage landing on a barge at sea 
This is a big deal,the phrase is over used these days,but this really is a game changer.Being able to launch a spacecraft into orbit and have the heavy lift and very expensive first stage return for landing and reuse is a major step forward.If this reaches full development,it will have the effect of dramatically lowering the cost of putting things in space.

There was a segment on this on Fox News this morning.
The big aerospace companies in the west could have done this quite a while back. But as Bill Gunston wrote, aerospace was the most capitalist section of the Soviet government while being the most socialist of the US gov.
