Space X has been trying to safely land their rockets after a mission to space so that they can be used again, as you may know. If the rocket can be used again, rather than be destroyed in re-entry, tens of millions of dollars will be saved.
It's all part of CEO Elon Musk's goal to take humans to Mars. The cost must come down, and it must be made safe for those humans. They're making progress.
Their first successful landing was last December. Their second was just recently. It was much harder than the first because it went further and carried more fuel, and because this one landed at sea.
