In March 2021, a Pittsburgh-based aerospace company unveiled the emblem for humanity's first commercial lunar landing mission — a quiet but consequential act of naming, the kind that precedes great departures. The Peregrine Mission One patch, centered on a falcon ascending toward the moon, carries within its design the flags of seven nations and the weight of a half-century gap since America last touched the lunar surface. It is a reminder that the frontier of space, once the exclusive domain of superpowers, is being redrawn by smaller hands moving quickly.
