Resolves YES if a human being steps foot on the moon on or before 11:59pm Eastern US time on December 31, 2025.

Resolves NO if no human steps onto the moon by then. Orbits don’t count, nor do landings by a lander but no exiting and stepping onto the surface.

FYI there is a real-money Kalshi market about a moon landing in 2024: https://kalshi.com/markets/moon/nasa-lands-on-the-moon#moon-25

predicts NO

@JacksonWagner it's weird that that market is still so high at 5%. I'm assuming it's some kind of platform inefficiency that prevents it from going lower.

predicts NO

@Mqrius if it allowed users from outside the USA, I would nudge it in the right direction. But I'm guessing it's similar to here at Manifold. There are better bets to make.

predicts NO

@calderknight a 5% return on investment in one year isn't good enough?

I don't know much about Kalshi. Are there fees or something that make this less profitable?

predicts NO

@LukeHanks why would you choose a 5% ROI when there is a 7% ROI to be had?

I didn't know you could buy $0M.... or sell it. What is Cramik doing?

bought Ṁ20 of NO

@Duncan Just testing around lol. Turns out you can buy 0.00000000001 shares

@Cramik Now I want 0.00000000001 shares.

predicts YES

@StanPinsent basically, Atremis 3 probably wont get done before 2025 ends, so it'll most likely be in 2026 or 2027

predicts NO

Artemis 3 plans to land on the moon in 2025.

predicts NO

Oh right Jackson already posted that

predicts YES

@Mqrius I hadn't read that before. You are probably right.

predicts NO

This question and https://manifold.markets/wadimiusz/by-the-start-of-2026-will-any-human are essentially the same question IMO, since neither SpaceX nor any other group has any intention of launching humans in the 2024 mars launch window (they would first need to send an unmanned Starship as a test and to pre-position supplies), and the next mars launch window is not until mid-2026. And nobody is planning to send humans to phobos or etc. So, both questions come down to whether NASA (or China or etc) can pull off a moon landing by 2025. I think this is doubtful: https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/11/the-oracle-who-predicted-slss-launch-in-2023-has-thoughts-about-artemis-iii/amp/
