SpaceX, a private company, NOT the government, NOT NASA, became the first organization to successfully launch a satellite into orbit using a recycled booster:
"A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket recovered at sea from its maiden flight last year blasted off again from Florida on Thursday in the first successful launch of a recycled orbital-class booster, then capped the feat with another return landing on an ocean platform." - Reuters
This is the opening sonata of the symphony of the song singing of our ability to be a multi-planetary species.
Why? because, "The potential is there for (an) over 100-fold reduction in the cost of access to space. If we can achieve that, it means humanity can become a space-faring civilization and be out there among the stars. This is what we want for the future," -Musk
NASA, Bezos, others; It CAN be done!
Congratulations SpaceX.
