For the first video, I get "Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany, because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights.". What an absolutely boneheaded, irrelevant, infuriating reason to block a video of a rocket landing. :(

Also, John Carmack's Armadillo aerospace have made prototype rockets that can land vertically on their own thrusters. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8eb_1318290493

I use Proxtube (https://proxtube.com/) to circumvent those blocks. Works quite reliably. Youtube is so much better when I can see all of it.
I'm London now and can see it fine again.
JAXA did the same thing a few years earlier with RVT (since cancelled).
