Resolves to ((num launches - 3) * 10)%, including the launch that the recovery happens on.
3 launches - 0%
4 launches - 10%
5 launches - 20%
6 launches - 30%
7 launches - 40%
8 launches - 50%
9 launches - 60%
10 launches - 70%
11 launches - 80%

≥ 13 launches - 100%
If it falls off the barge after landing, the recovery has failed. If the project is canceled before 13 attempts, resolves 100%.

3.00@OnixarLilen interesting one. I feel like the correct thing to say that it does count, only if at the time it's believed that this is the pathway to reuse. If they're just doing a splashdown for 1-off early tests without ever intending to solve the problems around refurbishing after salt water, that's a no.
Does that feel fair to you?
@ChristopherRandles just the second stage (starship), booster (super heavy) isn't a part of this market.
