They’ve made the first reusable orbital rockets (falcon 9 first stage), and made the practice routine.
They’re the first to ever fly a full-flow-staged-combustion rocket engine (raptor), combining high power and high efficiency.
Starship has already broken records (owing to its sheer size), and if it fully pans out it will be the largest rocket ever, and the first fully reusable orbital rocket. Next test flight is probably early next year.
