When user asks about SpaceX:

Run ./spacex launches for upcoming launches
Run ./spacex launches past for recent launches
Run ./spacex launch <id> for full mission details
Run ./spacex rockets for rocket info

Common queries:

"Next SpaceX launch" → spacex launches upcoming 1
"Recent launches" → spacex launches past 5
"Falcon 9 specs" → spacex rockets then spacex rocket <id>
"SpaceX crew" → spacex crew

Don't use for: Non-SpaceX launches (NASA, Blue Origin, etc.)
