Interesting that Rocket Lab is now considering barge landings for Neutron. This contrasts with one of the early concept videos where they stated that Neutron would always RTLS (return to launch site), and not land on a barge.

Yeah, it's a (relatively) simple way to get more performance out of a booster while still being able to recover it.
