Looking at the calculations that are involved, and the execution, this really is an amazing feat. Enjoy SpaceX landing their reusable rocket and welcome to discount rocket flight. Link above goes to the actual landing.

So freakin' cool

This is some amazing mathematical power at work, not to mention what this will do for the cost of space exploitation. While always theoretical, and it did take some time to achieve, they will only refine this over time. This really is an amazing (So much so, that it necessitated the repeated usage of amazing) accomplishment.

It is an engineering marvel - NASA discarded it long ago as impossible but technology marches on if and when there is an economic reason to accomplish it.
