Provenance Record

Comprehensive, well-structured News piece (1038 words) on NASA's decision to decouple the Blue Moon landers from New Glenn, balancing the agency's position, Blue Origin's recovery plan, and the structural fairing constraint.

All 4 snapshots read from disk (HTTP 200). source-0 (Spaceflight Now, June 4) confirms verbatim the Isaacman 'de-coupling the lander…' quote, the 'laser focused…before 2028…Artemis 3…2028' quote, the 'real heavy lift…obviously one of them is down a pad' quote, the seven-meter / 5.2-meter fairing figures, and the FOX Business interview attribution. source-2 (Spaceflight Now, June 3) confirms Limp's propellant-farm quote (the article correctly drops SFN's editorial '[cryogenic methane]' bracket), the water-tower / repaired-in-place quotes, the 'We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter' pledge, and Isaacman's 'responded incredibly quickly' quote. source-1 (SpaceNews) confirms the vertical-assembly approach, the seven-month repair estimate, the SpaceX 15-month SLC-40 (2016) and Antares/Wallops (October 2014) comparisons, the May 26 lunar-rover selection, and the Artemis 3 Orion/Starship docking. source-3 (Astronomy) confirms May 28, 274-foot, seven main engines, LOX/LNG, the two lightning-protection towers (the article corrects the source's 'lighting' typo and expands 'SLC-36' to 'Launch Complex 36'), and the Mark 1 / Mark 2 roles.

Every quote is verbatim and correctly attributed; every specific (dates, dimensions, repair timelines, historical pad-repair comparisons) traces to a source. Both internal cross-references (the June 2 New Glenn explosion article and the May 27 Moon Base contracts article) were verified to exist. The CNBC source was bot-blocked and correctly excluded.
