I don't know -- maybe several rockets had multiple uses; have you ever thought of that? Blue Origins has a business plan, believe it or not, and they're executing on that plan with fervor -- including rockets that orbit the earth. I think personally you're just shooting off your mouth, a quarter cocked. Hmmmm?

Fly straight up out of the atmosphere, fall straight down, don't burn up, land on a landing pad safely using a rocket.
Fly in an arc to create a high speed tangent to the surface of the earth while also exiting the atmosphere, separate from 2nd stage that is large enough to reach orbit while carrying a commercial payload, re-enter the atmosphere, don't burn up, stop on a boat using what's left of the fuel in the rocket.
Do you see any difference in the challenge or usefulness of these achievements?
