What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- Genuine milestone (autonomous 1,000C plasma furnace in LEO is a real world-first), but the value chain hinges on recovery that hasn't flown and material results that don't exist yet, so it's an evidence-wait, not an adopt.
- Next
- Watch for (1) a successful Pridwen heat-shield reentry/recovery demo and (2) ForgeStar-2 returning and characterizing a real semiconductor batch — until then the purity/economic claims are unverified.
