Just getting back into this...
"After SpaceX's successful landing Monday night, Bezos tweeted his
congratulations - and a reminder that he got there first: "Welcome to the club!"
Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb, the Wright brothers were not the
first to fly an aircraft that was "heavier than air", and Christopher Columbus
did not discover the Americas (he wasn't even the first European to do so).
Kudos to SpaceX! Thank you for further advancing space technology!
But please don't let your marketing and PR departments try to re-write history.
This is the 21st Century and the Internet is watching...

As we were only the second private group ( and third total) to take off and
land a rocket vertically, I can say that it is very close. Only a matter of the
size of the rocket. BTW, I only linked one video. We did many more and the
company has done many more since I left.

Should have written "Been there done that, won the NASA contest"

You can hear Doc Hansen yelling "Yes" at the landing.
