High above the Earth on April 18, 2022, two Russian cosmonauts ventured into the void to awaken a module that had waited in silence since its arrival nine months prior. Oleg Artemyev and Denis Matveev spent seven hours in the vacuum installing the nervous system of Nauka — a robotic arm, a control panel, the first handholds of a new capability — continuing humanity's patient, incremental work of building a home in orbit. Their labor was not a single act of completion but one movement in a longer score, a reminder that the great achievements of spaceflight are assembled piece by careful piece.
