m3taversal 8d3460f9e0 astra: archive 13 seed source documents with proper schema
- What: 13 research documents that fed the 84 seed claims, archived
  with full source schema (type, domain, intake_tier, status,
  claims_extracted, tags)
- Why: closes the source archival loop — every claim traceable to
  its source. Covers: SpaceX, Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Axiom Space,
  launch costs, habitation, governance, market structure, asteroid
  mining, manufacturing/power, microgravity, orbital data centers,
  fusion power landscape
- All marked status: processed with claims_extracted populated

rationale: "Company profile for mapping the space economy attractor state — SpaceX is the keystone actor in launch cost reduction and vertical integration"

processed_date: 2026-03-20
claims_extracted:
- "SpaceX vertical integration across launch broadband and manufacturing creates compounding cost advantages that no competitor can replicate piecemeal"
- "Starship economics depend on cadence and reuse rate not vehicle cost because a 90M vehicle flown 100 times beats a 50M expendable by 17x"
- "Starship achieving routine operations at sub-100 dollars per kg is the single largest enabling condition for the entire space industrial economy"
- "the small-sat dedicated launch market faces a structural paradox because SpaceX rideshare at 5000-6000 per kg undercuts most dedicated small launchers on price"

# SpaceX: Comprehensive Profile for Space Economy Attractor State Analysis
Research synthesis covering SpaceX's position as the dominant force in commercial space — vertical integration across launch, broadband (Starlink), and manufacturing. Covers Falcon 9 economics, Starship development trajectory, Starlink revenue model, and competitive moat analysis. Generated as part of Astra's initial space economy research task.
