Here's how Elon Musk comes up with the very cool but weird names for his drone ships

Elon Musk's SpaceX team just made history by launching a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida that delivered a Dragon spacecraft into orbit and then successfully landed back on an autonomous drone ship in the Atlantic named Of Course I Still Love You. First, that feat is an awesome scientific achievement, and as many have pointed out, being able to land and reuse rockets is the future. Not destroying a 60 million rocket every time something is launched into space could do a whole lot to make space travel less expensive. But why was the ship the Falcon landed on named Of Course I Still Love You? And why is Musk's other drone ship named Just Read the Instructions? As Business Insider quant reporter -- and sci-fi aficionado -- Andy Kiersz pointed out, when we first learned the names of these ships a year ago, both come from Iain M. Banks' "Culture" series.
