This is great news! It was only a couple of decades ago that only the richest governments in the entire world could afford to put together programs like this,or even to have the ability to create them. Now it is being done by private companies working for profit. IMO,this is every bit as much of a milestone as the Soviet launch of Sputnik was.
It is historic, I think. Bezos launched and landed his little tourist rocket again a few days ago, just seeking attention. A nice accomplishment but landing SpaceX's rocket is an order of magnitude more difficult than Bezos' tourist toy.
