Launching rockets isn't cool. You know what's cool? Landing rockets.
SpaceX now has successfully landed 8 Falcon 9 rockets. Coming up this year: the first re-used rocket launch, and the Falcon Heavy- basically three Falcon 9s strapped together, and all three of them are going to land.

All three are going to land, yes. Whether they'll survive the process remains to be seen, but their record is improving.

That's why I'm so excited! If it goes well, holy shit a rocket landed. If it goes badly, hey free fireworks! :D

Watch the dust. It continues to rise even after the rocket shuts off.

Because at the start, there was no fire coming from the bottom of the rocket, but it was moving very quickly.
