It is a decade late. By now, SpaceX's own landings are totally routine and happen once a week, and even Starship got first stage reusability.
Still, good to see that someone other than SpaceX is serious about reusability and capable of pulling off a landing. The performance of "old space" has been nothing short of embarrassing. I'm no fan of Blue Origin, but the teams there pulled off one of the hardest feats in all of spaceflight.
