astra: round 3 fixes — delta-v range and ProSEDS citation
...
- Fix skyhook delta-v range: 50-70% → 40-70% to match body evidence
(3 km/s tip velocity yields ~40%, higher tips reach 70%)
- Fix ProSEDS citation: never flew (cancelled post-Columbia 2003),
replaced with TSS-1R (1996) which actually demonstrated ED tether physics
- Updated all wiki-links for renamed skyhook claim file
- Updated 50-70% references in bootstrapping claim and identity.md

astra: address round 2 review — 7 fixes across all 3 claims
...
- Fix Pearson 1975 mis-attribution: rotating skyhooks are Moravec (1977)
- Add NASA MXER cancellation as counter-evidence on skyhook claim
- Constrain 50-70% delta-v range as configuration-dependent
- Rename Lofstrom claim title: add "theoretical" qualifier
- Fix pellet velocity: super-orbital, not orbital (excess force maintains arch)
- Acknowledge single-source limitation on $3/kg estimate
- Rename bootstrapping claim: foreground conditionality ("may be... if")
- Add challenged_by on bootstrapping: no megaproject has self-funded this way
- Add phase-transition wiki-link to skyhook and bootstrapping claims
- Update all wiki-links for renamed claims (beliefs.md, _map.md, cross-refs)

astra: megastructure launch infrastructure — docs, claims, and review fixes
...
- Added megastructure launch infrastructure to world model (identity.md),
new belief #7 (beliefs.md), viability assessment framework (reasoning.md),
and new domain map section (_map.md)
- Added 3 speculative claims: skyhooks (momentum exchange), Lofstrom loops
(propellant-to-electricity transition), bootstrapping sequence economics
- Belief #7 grounded on new megastructure claims (not chemical rocket claims)
- Confidence calibration: speculative content flagged as theoretical/unprototyped
- Propellant depot complementarity: megastructures for Earth-to-orbit, depots
for in-space operations — complementary not competitive
- Clarified economic vs technological bootstrapping distinction
- Added power constraint wiki-link to megastructure sections
- 300km tether contextualized relative to 35,786km space elevator
