SpaceX’s successful Flight 13 in July 2026 demonstrated the first intact Starship upper-stage reentry and precise soft splashdown after orbital-class velocities, validating the heat shield, flip-and-burn guidance, and landing-burn accuracy to within a potential tower-catch window. Elon Musk initially targeted Flight 14 for the Mechazilla chopsticks attempt but later shifted the timeline to “a few months,” citing data review, regulatory approval for over-land returns, and the higher energy demands versus proven Super Heavy booster catches. Key remaining hurdles include FAA licensing for a Texas landing trajectory, further validation of terminal guidance near the tower, and avoiding debris risks. Traders are watching Flight 14 preparations, upcoming permits, and any new Musk updates on Ship 41 or subsequent vehicles for near-term catalysts.

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.
