Elon (tweet happy) happily tweeted,
"11 satellites deployed to target orbit and Falcon has landed back at Cape Canaveral. Headed to LZ-1. Welcome back, baby!"

It is notable that Bezos has tweeted just once in this life,
"The rarest of beasts - a used rocket. Controlled landing not easy, but done right, can look easy. Check out video: http://bit.ly/1OpyW5N"

Looks like a giant inhaler but makes a historic flight

Amazon's New Shepard Space vehicle which looks like a giant inhaler made historic vertical takes off and  makes a gentle, whispering vertical landing making Bezos grin with joy. Right now Elon Musk has to take a second place as SpaceX has not done any thing spectacular.

This technical feasibility is sure to open up many more venues, transport, tourism etc.

The race began like what you see in this video on YouTube.
