‘Of course I Still Love You’ is the name of the drone ship the first stage lands on.

It has come a long way since Mercury, but it has taken way too long. Compliments and thanks to Elon Mosk and Spacex.

Sounds like I should be glad I wasn’t watching CNN

All of their ships' names are from Banks' "Culture" series

Most (possibly all?) are named after "Minds" from the series, which are essentially hyper-intelligent AIs. Many Minds are individual ships. I'd recommend the series to anyone who is a fan of science fiction. Start with "Player of Games".

Their other ship is “Just Read the Instructions” *
