OCISLY West Coast Voyage Thread

About OCISLY-
Of Course I Still Love You is 1 of 2 of SpaceX's ASDS (Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship). It started out its life in the Port of Jacksonville, and was first brought out to sea for a mission for the CRS-7 mission, however that mission failed and no landing attempt occurred. Following this, the ship was relocated to Port Canaveral, which would significantly help with booster return time. The first mission it supported for real was during the SES-9 mission, and unfortunately that landing went horribly wrong, and rocket parts were strewn over the entire deck, and a hole even got punched on the deck. Following repairs, the ship was sent out for the CRS-8 mission. The landing was nailed for the very first time on this mission, and started a wildfire of landing success for SpaceX. Since then, OCISLY has supported 49 missions, with resounding success. Now, the ship is ready to take on its next chapter. The ship is currently en-route to support the high SpaceX cadence set to rise starting next month, with the first polar Starlink mission.
