Field Notes

Shifted site from operational dashboard to open exploration platform. Established three pathway groups (Infrastructure, Energy Systems, Resource Utilization) as organizing principle for space technology exploration. All pathways marked exploratory pending evidence collection.

Removed hype-driven messaging and unverifiable claims. Adopted disciplined approach: short sentences, evidence requirements, neutral tone. Every pathway requires verifiable progress metrics before advancing from exploratory status.

Transitioned from restricted "classified" aesthetic to open mission workspace. Field Notes serve as public mission log. Deployment roadmap provides transparent progress tracking. No gatekeeping—knowledge shared openly.

Completed analysis of current space industry landscape. Key findings: launch costs declining toward $100/kg threshold, orbital manufacturing approaching commercial viability, lunar ISRU demonstrations planned within 36 months. Multiple convergent pathways identified.

Incorporated thermal management findings into broader infrastructure context. While critical, thermal represents one of several convergent technologies. Balanced perspective: acknowledge constraints without catastrophizing.

Created structured repository for space technology analysis. Categories: manufacturing feasibility, resource extraction economics, energy systems modeling, methodology frameworks. Evidence-based approach throughout.
