Historic Rocket Landing

Historic Rocket Landing
Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket made history on November 23/ 2015, when it became the first rocket to send a payload to space and safely land back on Earth.

It should be kept in mind, though, that New Shepard is a suborbital rocket whereas SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is an orbital rocket. It’s much more difficult to safely land a vehicle returning from orbital velocities than it is a short hop to high altitude.
