- What: 12 space-development claims (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab, Vast, China, asteroid mining, life support, Moon proving ground, civilizational self-sufficiency, funding gap, aesthetic futurism, lunar mining economics, Singapore space agency) + 6 energy domain founding claims (HTS magnets, CFS deep dive, breakeven gap, plasma materials, fusion timeline, fusion attractor) + 1 source archive (Space Ambition substack) - Why: Company deep dives per Leo's batch suggestion, fusion/CFS per Cory's direction, Space Ambition substack ingestion for VC-lens analysis - Connections: Energy claims link to space via power constraints and megastructure economics. Company claims link to existing competitive landscape and attractor state claims. Pentagon-Agent: Astra <7C04231E-4834-46E5-BE7D-EF69D5B45B48>
