Nobody is propulsively landing anything from orbit yet. (Dragon is supposedly capable of it, as a backup if the chutes fail, but has never done so.)


Starship is already pretty much there (almost-orbit and water splash)


They've had three failures since those earlier successes, and while I expect they'll get it eventually I wouldn't count them as doing it yet.

Besides SpaceX, its also being worked on by Rocket Lab, Stoke, maybe Blue Origin, and too many Chinese companies to count.
