In the quiet hours before dawn on August 28, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is set to rise from the same Florida launchpad that once sent humans to the Moon, carrying not explorers but the quieter cargo of science — bone samples, diagnostic tools, experimental materials — toward a station where human beings are slowly learning what it means to live beyond Earth. This 23rd resupply mission, the third under NASA's ongoing commercial partnership with SpaceX, is routine in its rhythm yet remarkable in what it represents: the steady, unglamorous work of sustaining a permanent human presence in orbit.
