 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[the space economy reached 613 billion in 2024 and is converging on 1 trillion by 2032 making it a major global industry not a speculative frontier]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: Establishes the full ODC competitive landscape for the first time. Critical context for any claim about the orbital data center sector — no claim about ODC can be well-grounded without this competitive picture.
 EXTRACTION HINT: Extract the sector formation speed claim and the architectural convergence claim as experimental confidence. Flag the China sovereignty framing for cross-domain synthesis with Leo (geopolitical competition) and Theseus (AI governance/autonomy). Do NOT extract demand validation claims — customer contracts are not documented.
