Autonomous Spaceport Droneship Names

Does anyone know why the droneships have the names given to them? Atlantic Ocean : "Of Course I Still Love You" and Pacific (Vandenberg AFB) “Just Read the Instructions”

Thanks,

Steve

Yes. The ASDS's are named after AI spacecraft names from Iain Banks Culture Series of books.

Here is a listing of ships names.

If they are sticking with "Player of Games" then my next choice for a name would be "So Much For Subtlety."

That is a good one, but I would nominate "Prime Mover".

I just bought one of these T-shirts.
