By SpaceX Photos
First stage of a Falcon 9 Full Thrust rocket on the autonomous spaceport drone ship (ASDS) Of Course I Still Love You. The stage landed successfully after launching the SpaceX CRS-8 resupply mission to the ISS. According to SpaceX, the photograph was taken from a NASA chase plane.
The two ASDS names used so far, Just Read the Instructions (JRtI), and Of Course I Still Love You (OCISLY), pay homage to the works of the late science fiction author Iain M. Banks by being based on his Culture fictional universe.
