If any Starship completes a successful launch by December 31, 2023, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Yes”. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.

A successful launch will mean that Starship takes off from its launchpad and successfully reaches an altitude of 62 miles above sea level. The outcome will be corroborated by examining SpaceX’s official video feed of the launch (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds or written reports if necessary.

Any subsequent anomaly (e.g. an explosion) after the vehicle reaches an altitude of 62 miles above sea level 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.

Outcome: Yes
