### What Got Left Out

- No images, specs, or functional demonstration disclosed
- No statement from SpaceX confirming existence or intent
- No context on regulatory or spectrum licensing challenges

## Integrity & Risk

**Evidence Strength:** unverified  
**Verification Status:** unverified_in_source  
**Narrative Risk:** moderate
