On the evening of November 10, 2021, four astronauts lifted off from Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule, bound for the International Space Station in what has quietly become one of humanity's most reliable rituals of departure from Earth. The Crew-3 mission — carrying NASA's Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, and Kayla Barron alongside ESA's Matthias Maurer — represents not a triumph of the extraordinary, but something perhaps more profound: the normalization of human spaceflight as scheduled, repeatable work. In the span of a generation, the question has shifted from whether we could
