I think the accomplishment is impressive but the headline is a bit disingenuous. Starship, being fully re-usable will be, for me, a more impressive milestone.

I think the accomplishment is impressive but the headline is a bit disingenuous. Starship, being fully re-usable will be, for me, a more impressive milestone. But what I find really interesting is the evolution. At the beginning everything was thrown away after one use, all boost stages and the spacecraft they launched. Then the shuttle came along and reused the spacecraft but still threw the boosters away. Then SpaceX where one of the boosters is re-used, and the Dragon/Crew Dragon spacecraft (can be) re-used. And then Starship where all boosters and spacecraft are reused. That is an interesting road. I also think it is fascinating the the governments of China and Russia are now working to re-create what a private company in the US did (Falcon 9). Not since Buran has the Russian space program been tasked with duplicating something the US could do that they could not. And then there is the private Crew-Dragon mission that SpaceX is planning. It may suck all the demand out of Blue Origin's and Virgin Galactic's "edge of space" experience if you can pay a bit more and spend several hours in space. (potentially days if you had somewhere to go). These really are amazing times.
