Can someone explain why this launch was different? I thought SpaceX was already landing rockets?

TL;DR: precision This is the first time they caught the booster at the launch site using the "chopsticks" (the big mechanical arms). All the other landings were on floating platforms in the ocean, or concrete landing pads miles away from the launch site — not on the launch pad itself.
