SpaceX Made History. Falcon 9 Rocket Successfully Landed Upright after launching 11 Satellites
The U.S Space Company SpaceX has successfully landed the first stage of its Falcon 9 rocket at a landing pad in Cape Canaveral, Florida after launching 11 satellites into orbit.
It is historically very important achievement.
It is the first time spaceX has been able to gently touch down the Falcon 9 post-launch. It is a big first step toward reusable rocket.
First stage of falcon 9 is 14-story tall.

Seriously though, why the uproar over SpaceX being an historic "first," when really it's just a "first" for them?
I get that it's the first to do so after launching satellites into orbit, and with a much larger rocket, but give credit where credit's due.
