On July 14, a Soyuz rocket will carry Anil Menon — physician, soldier, and son of immigrants — from the steppes of Kazakhstan into eight months of orbital life aboard the International Space Station. His journey is not merely a personal milestone but a chapter in humanity's slow reckoning with what it will take to survive far from home. The research he carries with him — on blood, fluids, and medical autonomy — asks a quiet but urgent question: when Earth can no longer answer in time, how will we heal ourselves among the stars?
