SpaceX’s successful Flight 13 soft splashdown of Ship 40 in July 2026 demonstrated precise terminal guidance and heat-shield performance at orbital-class reentry energies, directly enabling Elon Musk’s subsequent statements that a tower catch of the upper stage (Ship) is feasible “in a few months.” Hardware teams have since shortened and upgraded the Mechazilla chopsticks with electromechanical actuators at Starbase to handle the lighter, faster-returning vehicle, while parallel work continues at LC-39A. The primary near-term catalysts remain FAA approval for an expanded over-land catch zone and stacking of Booster 21 with Ship 41 for Flight 14, now eyed as the first orbital attempt with potential catch. Any further regulatory delays or additional actuator testing could push the milestone past October 2026.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any Starship upper stage is successfully caught by the chopsticks on the Orbital Launch Tower between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, it will resolve to "No."
A successful catch is defined as the chopsticks capturing and supporting the Starship upper stage without it falling to the ground or causing catastrophic damage during the landing process.
If SpaceX attempts an ocean splashdown of the Starship upper stage instead of attempting to catch it using the Orbital Launch Tower's chopsticks, that attempt will not qualify. If no Starship launch occurs, or a successful catch does not take place, by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No."
The resolution source for this market will be official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.SpaceX’s successful Flight 13 soft splashdown of Ship 40 in July 2026 demonstrated precise terminal guidance and heat-shield performance at orbital-class reentry energies, directly enabling Elon Musk’s subsequent statements that a tower catch of the upper stage (Ship) is feasible “in a few months.” Hardware teams have since shortened and upgraded the Mechazilla chopsticks with electromechanical actuators at Starbase to handle the lighter, faster-returning vehicle, while parallel work continues at LC-39A.
