extraction_model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.5"
extraction_notes: "Extracted one new claim on Blue Origin's rapid reuse achievement. Applied two enrichments: (1) extends the reusability thesis with new positive evidence while noting the refurbishment scope gap, (2) challenges the vertical integration necessity claim by showing focused specialization may be viable. Key tension: 3-month turnaround is impressive but without refurbishment cost data, economic validation is incomplete. This is Blue Origin's make-or-break mission for commercial credibility after a decade of development."

WHY ARCHIVED: Tests whether Blue Origin achieves the turnaround + minimal refurbishment that the Shuttle never could — if so, strengthens the reusability thesis while weakening single-player dependency WHY ARCHIVED: Tests whether Blue Origin achieves the turnaround + minimal refurbishment that the Shuttle never could — if so, strengthens the reusability thesis while weakening single-player dependency
EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on turnaround time and commercial customer (not government) as dual evidence of viable reuse economics EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on turnaround time and commercial customer (not government) as dual evidence of viable reuse economics
