What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Hardware is built and integrated with a real launch manifested, which is strong, but the core zero-loss-in-microgravity claim is exactly what the mission is meant to prove and has not yet flown; schedule has slipped multiple times.
Next
Wait for the LOXSAT launch (NET July 17 2026) and at least the first months of on-orbit zero-loss-storage data before treating in-space cryogenic LOX depots as a planning assumption
