Blue Origin is now the first company to launch a rocket above the Karman line, land it safely, then relaunch it a second time. According to this blog post [blueorigin.com] on Blue Origin's web site, the New Shepard booster that was used in the November 2015 launch was reused for a new launch on January 22, 2016. The blog post has some interesting information about the reuse and some of the adjustments they have made to the return and landing algorithms.
