People seem so determined to undermine one achievement because of another, "better", one. I love what NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin and others are doing. Such silliness.
It's hyperbole. But the Falcon 9 first stage landing is still one of the most significant historical moments in spaceflight. Especially if you only consider things that have happened after 1973. I'll have to come back to this comment in 20 years to see if I was way off base when I said this, but it seems like a sound statement to me.
