If the 12th SpaceX Starship successfully launches from its launch pad by May 20, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Yes”. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” The outcome of any launch will be corroborated by examining official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary. Any subsequent anomaly (e.g., an explosion) after the launch will have no bearing on the outcome.

This marks the first integrated launch of the upgraded Block 3 booster and ship, incorporating substantial hardware changes to the engines, avionics, and structure that enable higher performance for future orbital and refueling missions. The suborbital profile will again test booster and ship recovery in the Gulf of Mexico and Indian Ocean, following five successful flights in 2025 and recent wet-dress rehearsals plus updated FAA licensing. These milestones have reinforced trader confidence in a timely liftoff while highlighting ongoing risks around pad operations and vehicle integration.

If the 12th SpaceX Starship successfully launches from its launch pad by May 20, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Yes”. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” The outcome of any launch will be corroborated by examining official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary. Any subsequent anomaly (e.g., an explosion) after the launch will have no bearing on the outcome. Any name change of the Starship with another vehicle will have no bearing on the outcome of the market.
