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.Recent Flight 13 success in July 2026, where the V3 Starship upper stage achieved a controlled Indian Ocean splashdown with an undamaged heat shield after deploying Starlink V3 satellites and performing an in-space Raptor relight, has bolstered trader confidence in rapid reusability progress. SpaceX has repeatedly caught the Super Heavy booster via Mechazilla tower arms on prior flights, and CEO Elon Musk has targeted a ship catch attempt on Flight 14 within months, alongside plans for the first Starship reflight by late 2026 or early 2027. V3 upgrades—including Raptor 3 engines and integrated hot staging—address key technical hurdles, though full orbital returns, propellant transfer demos, and zero-refurbishment cycles remain ahead before 2028. These milestones and SpaceX's iteration pace underpin the 73% implied probability for "Yes."
