    Default SpaceX Launch!

    We watched it live. Woohoo!

    Is it just my imagination, or is the 1st stage recovery drone ship "I Still Love You" a Culture reference?
    Never read the books, but I know how they name their ships...

    The full name is "Of Course I Still Love You", and according to This article, it is explicitly a Culture reference.

    Of Course I Still Love You and Just Read the Instructions are Culture references, yes.

    Thanks for confirming! Family viewing and I thought it was pretty funny.
