A few minutes ago, Space X became the first company to succesfully land a rocket on a platform out on the ocean, proving that a reusable rocket might be the future of space travel. This giant step forward in our world’s  history of blasting things into space could lead to cheaper satellite launches, and eventually the kind of space tourism we’ve only dreamed about in the past. If you missed it, don’t worry, Space X has you covered with a video:
