Absolutely stunning. The reusability of rockets makes spacefaring more economical - and this ability to catch boosters is massive.

what you mean reusability of rockets - re using of rockets/boosters is there since long time, 

this booster returning to where it was, saves times, money, no man force needed to go to ocean to collect  the touch down booster.

Resuability of rocket boosters is precisely what I meant - historically and even today most of the rocket boosters are "expendable boosters" - used just once to get other craft carrying satellites/astronauts etc., into space.

rocket boosters are being re used since long time, 

the boosters consists of fuel, once they touch the orbit or how much ever they're designed to lift the rocket, they detatch and fell on near by ocean, they collect it, and re use it again.

I am genuinely confused about the point you are trying to make brother.

 

I mentioned very clearly - historically speaking rockets or boosters were expendable - throw away and one time use.

The critical point I am trying to make is these boosters are immediately "REUSABLE" - you are talking about "REFURBISHMENT" (recovering empty boosters from ocean etc.,) - a big difference.
