Doctrine and reasoning
Notes
Short notes on why iGO is built the way it is: the doctrine, the case for water, and the line between what we publish and what we keep.
OPERATION GREEN EARTH
Heavy industry is not the enemy. The problem is that we do all of it on the only planet known to hold life. Move the extraction off Earth and the planet keeps only the part that has to be here.
WATER IS THE FIRST RESOURCE OF SPACE
Propellant, life support, and shielding in one molecule. Split it and you hold hydrogen and oxygen, the propellant of the solar system, refined where it is found instead of hauled from Earth.
BUILD THE PROSPECTOR. BUY THE LAUNCH. SELL THE WATER.
Three lines that decide every iGO engineering choice. Intelligence before hardware. Rockets are a solved problem. The first company to deliver water off-Earth supplies everyone who comes after.
FUNCTION IS PUBLIC. FINDINGS ARE PRIVATE.
iGO publishes how its systems work and never what they find. The scored candidate list is the moat. This note explains the rule and why a reviewer should trust a company that keeps its best data quiet.
