On May 12, a Dragon spacecraft will ascend from Cape Canaveral on a mission that has quietly become one of the most reliable rhythms in modern space exploration — the 34th resupply run SpaceX has flown for NASA to the International Space Station. Carrying three tons of provisions and scientific experiments, it represents not a milestone but a maturation: the transformation of what was once a bold experiment in public-private partnership into something closer to infrastructure. In the larger human story, this is what progress often looks like — not a single leap, but the steady accumulation of
