They said it takes more fuel to get back to land.

Might have some pictures later. My parents' back porch faces the launch area perfectly.

Cost of fuel vs cost of a rocket?
Well above my knowledge, but risk=potential x consequence.
I would think fuel is negligible, but I am about 4 years of education short of a rocket scientist.

I thought it was another company that was able to land it on land.
SoaceX accomplished this last December. Blue Origin is probably who you are thinking about. They landed theirs before SoaceX, however they are drastically different rockets with different missions. The a Falcon is harder to land since its traveling much faster, much farther, is thinner and taller, and is horizontal at the time it starts its return. So they cannot really be compared to each other.

Hasn't SpaceX only faltered in the last few feet each time?
It isn't as if they are missing the ship, just can't stick the landing.
