Just saw this vid about the successful test of landing the rocket that carries a module into space. Kinda interesting to watch, especially the last part where the landing actually occurs:

I saw it this morning on the news. It was pretty impressive. Jeff Bezos finally beat Elon Musk in creating a reusable rocket. But the caveat is that Bezos' rocket is smaller and only goes suborbital with it's payload. Musk's rocket is far larger and can get it's payload into a full orbit. Now if Bezos would quit playing space ranger long enough to start managing his Amazon business properly so that when I order something from his company, it doesn't arrive just thrown into a box without proper packing, which then usually arrives damaged or broken.

argh, I told the guys in shipping to stop treating random boxes like footballs...

You mean like this?
