On a Sunday morning over Cape Canaveral, a rocket did something no rocket had done before — it flew for the tenth time and came home again, settling gently onto a platform at sea as if the journey were routine. SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster B1051 carried sixty Starlink satellites into orbit, but the deeper cargo was proof: that the dream of truly reusable spaceflight is no longer a dream. In the long arc of human ambition toward the stars, this moment marks a quiet but profound shift — from rockets as expendable instruments to rockets as enduring tools, worn in like a good pair of boots.
