2 prediction markets price this story:

• Before 2030 — the market puts it at 72%, with $37 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2030. Yes resolves if Blue Origin lands an uncrewed Blue Moon MK1 lander on the moon before SpaceX lands an uncrewed Starship and before January 1, 2030. No resolves if that specific sequence of events does not occur within the deadline. Readers often mistake the requirement for any lunar landing by Blue Origin, ignoring the strict condition that it must happen before SpaceX's uncrewed Starship landing.
• Will SpaceX Starship Flight Test 15 launch by November 30, 2026? — the market puts it at 96%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if SpaceX Starship Flight 15 successfully lifts off from its pad by November 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The outcome depends solely on the launch event itself; any explosion or anomaly after liftoff does not change the result. Readers often mistakenly believe that a post-launch failure counts as a No, but only the successful launch matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
