2013 version of Space X Falcon 9. Longer fuel tanks for first and second stage make the Falcon 9 v1.1. Adding the landing legs to the first stage and reaction control system (RCS) pods to the top of the interstage (or top of side boosters for Falcon Heavy) makes it the reusable version. The first version of the F9R has the first stage core booster(s) flyback to the launch site for a vertical landing ( http://www.space.com/21881-spacex-gr...st-flight.html ). Ultimately, Space X intends for all parts of the rocket to be reusable: second stage will recover similarly to the first stage core; Dragon capsule will soft-land using its built-in thrusters.
