Resolves YES if reusable rocket successfully reaches at least low stage orbit and booster rocket lands vertically in Falcon 9-like fashion.
Update 2026-07-03
edited back to original resolution criteria:
Resolves YES if a reused rocket successfully reaches at least low stage orbit.
This would satisfy that criteria then? https://www.space.com/rocket-lab-recovered-electron-production-line-reflight
yeah I update description yesterday.
"Resolves YES if reusable rocket successfully reaches at least low stage orbit and booster rocket lands vertically in Falcon 9-like fashion."
Apologies if that wasn't correct move. I can revert it to previous version, do a rebate ..or close the question.
(sorry I am new to the manifold so not sure how it works 😅 )
Not to worry, I am also quite new! Perhaps @mods can be of assistance. The community guidelines docs did not seem to be clear on this.
Thank you for understanding!
Alternatively I can resolve the question based on your previous comment: https://manifold.markets/JankoPrester/will-any-company-or-space-agency-ot#a6r41jz4x4
All options are fine with me.
I'd recommend switching back to the original description and then clarifying that it has to have been used. So something like:
Resolves YES if a reused rocket successfully reaches at least low stage orbit.
Also, the market currently is set to close on July 9 of this year. Would you like me to extend it to December 31, 2026?
Reaching at least low stage orbit seems like a fair resolution criteria.
Reasonable chance it’ll happen: https://spacenews.com/chinas-landspace-conducts-first-vtvl-test-for-reusable-stainless-steel-rocket/
