On February 28, Elon Musk posted that it was likely Starship would become fully reusable in 2025. You can see the X post here: https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1895598258225106984 This market will resolve to "Yes" if SpaceX or Elon Musk announces that Starship is fully reusable by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Note, this market refers to the Starship upper stage and does not require reusability for the Super-Heavy booster. For this market to resolve to "Yes" it is not necessary that an actual reuse occur, only that SpaceX or Elon Musk announces that Starship is fully reusable by this market's resolution date. The resolution source for this market is announcements by Elon Musk and SpaceX, or their official representatives.SpaceX's accelerated Starship test campaign and Starship V3 design upgrades are the main drivers behind the 73% market-implied probability for achieving full reusability before 2028. Recent flights have advanced booster recovery and engine relight capabilities, while the company targets a Ship tower catch attempt on Flight 14 in August 2026 alongside V3's debut for rapid, high-cadence reuse of both stages. Official updates emphasize avionics and architecture changes aimed at reliable return-to-launch-site operations and propellant transfer by late 2026. Trader consensus weighs these milestones against ongoing technical risks like heat shield performance and regulatory approvals, though the multi-year buffer to 2028 supports elevated odds for eventual success. Key near-term catalysts include additional 2026 flights and any demonstrated rapid turnaround.
