Resolution criteria for what counts as an attempt adapted from this market.

For the purposes of this market the test doesn't have to be successful or even conclusive - a scrub is fine as long as it's clear that SpaceX was trying to do an orbital flight test.

I'll resolve YES if an official SpaceX social media channel puts up a livestream entitled "Starship Flight Test" or similar, which shows a live feed of a Starship–Super Heavy full stack vehicle and a countdown, for a flight trajectory that is intended to be orbital or near-orbital, NO if there is clearly no such livestream by market close, and N/A if it is ambiguous whether this has happened at market close.

The relevant timezone is the local time at the launch site.

dayumn boy

So much times Starship markets go to 90+% before resolving NO. Imagine how rich u would be if u just made limit orders for NO at 90% in every starship market

@ChristopherRandles I'll bet NO on that market but I'm not very liquid right now!

@ChristopherRandles small position for the lulz, but I'll find a smarter market to bet more on

predicted NO

@jim I was teasing. I might arbitrage at

@jacksonpolack Starship isn't launching Friday. SpaceX pushed their livestream start time on X to Saturday.

EDIT: it was false, it was a matter of time difference

@Mqrius oh thank you so much

What if they do a wet dress rehearsal? Is that a YES or a NO

predicted YES

@IonMarqvardsen They have to be intending to launch. If it scrubs and turns into a wet dress rehearsal as a result (like it did on Apr 17th for IFT-1), that's still a YES as long as they were intending to launch when the livestream went live.
