This mission marks SpaceX's 12th official cargo run for NASA to the Space Station, and if successful, it will mark the sixth time the company has performed one of these land-landings and the 14th total landing.
None of these feats were possible even just a few years ago.
SpaceX became the first private spaceflight company to dock one of its spacecraft at the Space Station in 2012.

SpaceX has had a big year, coming back in force after a pair of accidents set the company back severely in 2016.
Since the start of 2017, SpaceX has successfully launched 11 missions, a record for the company.
And now, it looks like they could extend that record even further.
