Spacex has landed its first stage on land as we will start an age of reusable rockets

Soacex has returned to flight and landed its first stage on land

Spacex built a larger rocket with more fuel. By returning to its launch pad they burned more fuel than a parabolic landing. They will be able to make parabolic landings when their Texas launch facility is up and running.

The reusable rocket age will truly start with a relaunch in 2016 but the complete return of a first stage that requires minimal maintenance for relaunch is a huge step to lower cost space flight.
