Resolves YES on credible reports that either the Superheavy booster, Starship, or both, were intentionally destroyed via activation of the flight termination system, during the first orbital test of the integrated Starship–Superheavy vehicle.
Market stays open until the outcome of the first Starship–Superheavy launch ("launch" ≡ engine ignition + release of hold-down clamps) is known, or upon on-pad destruction. Activation of the FTS on the pad will cause the market to resolve YES.

@Mqrius NSF said on their stream that "we have official confirmation that it was the FTS". But unsure where they got it from.
@Mqrius Actually they didn't say "official", listening to it again. They said it pretty much right after the RUD.
@Mqrius Thanks! And confirmed by SpaceX:

"At 8:33 a.m. CT, Starship successfully lifted off from the orbital launch pad for the first time. The vehicle cleared the pad and beach as Starship climbed to an apogee of ~39 km over the Gulf of Mexico – the highest of any Starship to-date. The vehicle experienced multiple engines out during the flight test, lost altitude, and began to tumble. The flight termination system was commanded on both the booster and ship."
