Blue origin also vertically land (and the Shuttle also landed)

Not to take away from Blue origin, but orbital class rocket booster landing is different and much harder than going up, hovering and going down.

They had to move space down to meet Blue Origins rocket. At least SpaceX can get to orbit.

One of those is sub orbital still afaik, the other is a beautiful work of engineering but very much retired due to the complexities of the design and is more of a spaceplane than a rocket.

Regarding Blue Origin, if you can pad the margins of your vehicles heavily because you don't need to reach orbit, then it's a lot easier to make a vehicle reusable. This is why Scaled Composites could relatively easily throw together a vehicle that could perform this back in 2004.

I can fart very hard and land back on my chair and have achieved about as much as Blue Origin.
