::Since this discussion in August, I've added some prose to endeavor to explicate the distinction: aiming for both stages long term, but the near-term Falcon 9 focus is only on the first stage. See what you think. [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 05:38, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
== Relevance of New Shepard launch ==
Apologies in advance as I'm a new editor, but I'm not sure the [[New Shepard]] launch, currently mentioned under History, is relevant to this article. Musk himself tweeted that the recovery of a booster from a suborbital flight is a much different goal than the recovery of the Falcon 9 orbital stages and it doesn't seem to affect SpaceX's program. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to put New Shepard under a "See Also" heading? [[User:Gnugnug|Gnugnug]] ([[User talk:Gnugnug|talk]]) 09:56, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
: Yes, I completely agree. At this point in time, the Blue Origin results are more relevant to the other suborbital tourism players like Virgin Galactic and XCOR Aerospace. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] ([[User talk:IanOsgood|talk]]) 22:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
: I concur. While interesting to many, the Blue Origin test program is both for a very different purpose than the SpaceX orbital booster as well as unrelated to SpaceX' own program, as is perhaps obvious by a clean up edit I made and edit comment I left recently. It fits in Wikipedia. Just not ''this'' article. [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 00:16, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
