Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns a 94.7% market-implied probability to no human moon landing in 2026, anchored by NASA's official delay of Artemis III to mid-2027 at earliest, per recent announcements and the Government Accountability Office's audit citing persistent Starship human landing system risks. SpaceX's Starship program faces iterative test setbacks—despite IFT-4 progress, orbital refueling demos and crew certification remain unproven milestones prone to slips, echoing Apollo-era delays. No rival efforts from China or private players like Blue Origin align with 2026. Scenarios challenging this include flawless back-to-back Starship successes and expedited FAA approvals, though traders view these as low-probability outliers given development realities.
