Market predicts low likelihood of 7-8 SpaceX Starship launches reaching space in 2026.
The current market probability indicates an 88.5% chance that 7-8 SpaceX Starship launches will not successfully reach space in 2026. This aligns closely with the Pulse AI probability of 85.5%, suggesting a consensus on the challenges facing these launches. The confidence level of 60/100 indicates moderate uncertainty in the predictions.
This market will resolve according to the number of SpaceX Starship launches successfully reaching an altitude of 62 miles above sea level between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A successful launch is defined as the Starship taking off from its launchpad and reaching a minimum altitude of 62 miles above sea level. Any subsequent anomaly (e.g., an explosion) after the vehicle reaches 62 miles will have no bearing on the outcome.
The primary resolution source for this market will be SpaceX’s official video feed of the launches (e.g., via SpaceX YouTube Channel), as well as secondary video feeds or written reports if necessary. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
