It's a technical achievement and something the company can be proud of.

A bit like working for NASA in the late 60's I imagine.

on top f this, it was a launch to GTO which is twice the re-entry speed of a LEO. i think you will find they will stick them more often then not from now on. next up, the launch of a reused first stage then Mars . i have watched every space x launch live for a while now (including the failure last year) and it is really impressive the way they are going about things. testing through failure and continually improving. really impressive
