On the first day of September 2026, two women moved through the silence above Earth to perform work that has occurred only five times before in the history of human spaceflight. Jessica Meir of Maine, on her seventh venture beyond the airlock, joined a colleague to strengthen the International Space Station's capacity to receive visiting craft without human hands guiding them home. In the rarity of this all-female spacewalk lives a quiet measure of how slowly, and how surely, the human story in space is being rewritten.
