Blue Origin, the private space firm owned by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has beat Elon Musk's SpaceX in the race to land reusable rockets. The rockets could drastically reduce space-flight costs.

SpaceX has managed to get its own reusable booster close to its barge platform, but hasn't nailed the landing yet.
