After fifty-four years of silence, humanity has once again sent its emissaries to the moon and brought them home. The Orion capsule Integrity, carrying Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen, completed a nearly ten-day voyage beyond the bounds of ordinary human experience before returning to Kennedy Space Center this week. In the long arc of exploration, this mission stands as both a closing of a half-century gap and an opening movement in a larger symphony — one whose crescendo, a return to the lunar surface, is now within sight.
