Launch is defined as lifting off from the pad, even slightly, under the thrust of its own engines (the launch does not have to be successful)

Must be a full stack launch, but any Starship variant counts

Answers will resolve as they are fulfilled

Could be lots towards end of 2025 or just a few. Perhaps more tractable is number in first 6 months of 2024:

24 launches and it's a Berger prediction!?


Time to update my Manifold bets lol

@Mqrius Hol up, I gotta add that as an option lol

Hmm actually, not sure the best way to add that prediction to this market given 24 is presumably a best estimate from Berger whereas the other answers on this market are framed as 'x or more'

Could always just break the pattern and have an answer that is 'Exactly 24 launches' but that doesn't feel true to Berger's prediction either

Could do '24 ± x' where x is some bounds of confidence but then have to pick arbitrary bounds

Or maybe I should just add a '24 or more' option for the fun of it anyway

Imo "24 or more" fits the market best, but also it's not all that different from "20 or more" at this point, so it doesn't have much added value

@Mqrius Hmm yeah I suppose I might add it only if the market starts to think there's a decent chance
