Didn't SpaceX go around the entire earth before landing? I don't think Bezos'did

  Could someone clarify the stage one path? Where did it launch, and where did it land, and where did it go horizontally in the meantime?

    It flew 100's of kms away from the launch site, flipped around, flew back and landed a mile or so from the launchpad. http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/12/by-making-a-historic-landing-spacex-launches-new-age-of-spaceflight/ http://arstechnica.com/science/2015/12/by-making-a-historic-...

  No, but it lifted a second stage that continued on to orbit, delivering 11 satellites. https://i.imgur.com/D9BdO86.png https://i.imgur.com/D9BdO86.png http://www.flightclub.io/results.php?id=eb627cc3-ffab-43a3-9a63-0009a366acb2&code=OG22 http://www.flightclub.io/results.php?id=eb627cc3-ffab-43a3-9...
