Seriously, a fashion critique!
They are doing the job well. Feel free to submit your design for a different suit to SpaceX and NASA.

Well, not really space suits in that sense. Functionally the same as the Space Shuttle orange suits, only done with modern materials by a company whose CEO demands that things not only function well, but that they look good also. Those suits are technically just emergency life support, they are airtight and connect with an umbilical that supplies comms, power, and nitrox. No reason they cant look better than the 1950s.

Been quite a few.
"The rocket's first-stage boosters have been recovered in 52 of 62 landing attempts (84%), with 28 out of 32 for the latest version, Block 5."
Might sound bad, but some of these were questionable to begin with, since some launch profiles aks a lot and put you in the margins of whats possible. Towards the end of these first gen, they basically tossed the older ones away with no attempt at recovery, since they wanted to get the Block 5s into service.
Since you havent watched any, then I have a treat for you. Falcon Heavy, which is essntially three of the boosters you saw today strapped together, has a couple of times tried to land all three first stages. Sadly, they have not accomplished the center core, but both times, they nailed simultaneous landings back at KSC....
