claims_extracted:
  - "Axiom Space has the strongest operational position for commercial orbital habitation but the weakest financial position among funded competitors"
  - "the commercial space station transition from ISS creates a gap risk that could end 25 years of continuous human presence in low Earth orbit"
enrichments:
  - "commercial space stations are the next infrastructure bet as ISS retirement creates a void that 4 companies are racing to fill by 2030"
