Something I think the public hasn’t awakened to
is that if we can land a first stage back here on
earth the same technique will allow us to land on
Mars, land big vehicles on Mars.

Really quite exciting.

SpaceX says they could land a capsule on Mars using the same rockets they used for the pad abort test. It would be the same as landing the capsule on land when returning from Earth orbit, which they plan to do.
