For perspective: There is no rocket active today, aside from the Falcon 9, that has 100 consecutive successful launches. Let alone landings.

SpaceX has now landed successfully as many Falcon 9 boosters in a row as Delta II rockets launched successfully in a row. If my math is right, Delta II holds the second longest streak of successful launches for a US rocket, the first on the list currently being Falcon 9.
