Guys, do you know how freaking amazing it is that SpaceX recovered THREE boosters and can reuse them multiple times? I'm still geeking out over this.

Blue Origin is working on a reusable rocket, but has barely any launch history.

ULA is SpaceX's main competition and they still use expendable rockets. Which is why their costs are so much higher than SpaceX's.
