Just a reminder SpaceX isn't the only space company in business. Check out Blue Origin's flying dildo, launched at around the 51 minute mark:
The top is the crew pod which separates from the rocket booster. This is in case of an emergency and it was thought that the rocket booster might explode because because of this seperation, but it didn't!
This booster has been launched and landed back on earth 5 times. No other booster has done this.
