Each option resolves YES if the next (5th) Starship full stack flight test completes that milestone without exploding, NO otherwise (i.e. if it explodes during or before completing that milestone)

Criteria changes from previous market for IFT4:

• 2/3 of engines must light to count as success, up from 1/2 previously. (Reflects higher expectations as launches have been successful, and the fact that I'm pretty sure 1/2 of engines is not enough to perform the desired burn)

• Added details about whether a pre-launch explosion counts.

Examples and more detailed definitions:

• This question refers to the next Starship full stack flight test which has a planned trajectory that reaches space (100km altitude). So a 10km altitude flight test does not count.

• "Exploding" here will include any Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly

• The second stage and stage separation milestones only require the second stage not to explode. Similarly, the booster boostback/landing milestones only require the booster not to explode.

• For this question, the test includes the official pre-launch countdown, and if it explodes during that time then all milestones resolve NO. (For IFT-4, the countdown began at 1 hour 15 minutes before launch.) If it explodes outside of the official countdown, then that does not count and the question resolves based on the next test, whenever that occurs. Holds count as part of the countdown. If the launch is scrubbed and rescheduled, then that period of time until the next countdown starts does not count.

• If Starship reaches MaxQ but explodes 2 seconds later, MaxQ still resolves YES.

• MECO/SECO are defined as when the engines are intentionally shut down - if the engines shutdown unintentionally that doesn't count.

• If MECO is attempted but the engines fail to shut down, and the rocket explodes before they can successfully shut down, MECO resolves NO.

• Note that Starship will be doing a hot staging - they will cut off most but not all of the booster engines, ignite the second stage engines, and then the stages separate. This is different from most other rockets!

• Note that the planned MECO will have most engines cut off, not all.

• Second stage engine start (SES) does not require stage separation to complete successfully, as long as the engines ignite successfully. At least 2/3 of the engines must ignite to count as a success.

• Similarly, for each of the booster burn startup milestones, at least 2/3 of the engines that are supposed to ignite must ignite to count as a success.

• For Second stage landing burn startup, at least two engines must ignite to count as a success. (For previous missions the plan has been to perform a 2-engine landing burn, but ignite 3 and then immediately shut 1 down, just for redundancy.)

• For stage separation, if the second stage separates intact, that's a YES (even if e.g. the rocket starts spinning unrecoverably out of control, as long as it stays intact). If the engines light but the second stage explodes instead of separating, that's a NO. If the stages separate unintentionally, that's a NO.

• Second stage touchdown resolves YES if Starship touches down anywhere in the planned ocean or continent (currently planned for the Indian ocean), and is intact at the moment it hits the surface, even if it is an uncontrolled crash. If it touches down elsewhere, that's a NO.

• Similarly for booster touchdown, resolves YES if the booster (separated from the second stage) touches down anywhere in the planned ocean or continent and is intact at the moment it hits the surface.

• The close date is not a deadline and will be extended as necessary until the test occurs.
