Not just a rocket test either, they deployed nearly a dozen satellites as their payload while attempting to get stage 1 back on the ground safely. The payload is the 'easy' part, sure, but still. It's a testament to SpaceX that they were getting client work done and fulfilling contracts at the same time they were trying to make history.
Truly a turning point. While Musk may not go down in history as an Einstein or even a Jobs, he will go down as one of the most forward-thinking people on the planet during these iffy times.
So it goes.
