For a 'normal' rocket company, this would have been an A+. First time launch, rocket only delayed a few days from first attempt, payload made it to orbit and is healthy.
Do not bother reading any negative headlines about failure to recover the booster etc. Literally the ONLY two companies in the world trying that are SpaceX and Blue Origin.
My guess is they will stick the landing in the first few attempts.
This is great news for all interested in space - means potential second real company making reusable transport to space, true competition for SpaceX (which is good for SpaceX too), and I find it inspirational all around.
