This market will resolve to "Yes" if any human-crewed mission lands on the moon between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A touchdown of the spacecraft with humans aboard will be sufficient to resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of technical complications. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.NASA's revised Artemis program timeline, with the crewed lunar landing now targeted no earlier than 2028 after shifting Artemis III to a late-2027 low-Earth orbit test of docking procedures with SpaceX Starship or Blue Origin Blue Moon landers, has solidified trader consensus against any human moon landing this year. Ongoing technical hurdles in human landing system development, certification delays, and supply-chain constraints have eliminated the remaining calendar window, leaving no credible path for acceleration before December 2026. While an unforeseen breakthrough in propulsion or regulatory fast-tracking could theoretically intervene, such scenarios remain highly improbable given the multi-year development cycles required for safe crewed operations.
