It is definitely impressive what they've managed to do with their first stage boosters and how reliable they've become.
I am curious to see if they could do the same with the second stage, but I think when one starts to consider the additional overhead for heat shields and how that cuts into payload capacity for orbital insertions it just doesn't pencil out.
