This market will resolve to "Yes" if any human-crewed mission lands on the moon between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A touchdown of the spacecraft with humans aboard will be sufficient to resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of technical complications. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting.NASA's February 2026 Artemis program revision shifted the first crewed lunar landing from a 2027 Artemis III target to Artemis IV no earlier than 2028, after the successful April 2026 Artemis II flyby. This timeline reflects persistent technical hurdles in commercial Human Landing Systems, including SpaceX Starship cryogenic refueling and Blue Origin's May 2026 launchpad explosion, alongside inspector general warnings on schedule risks. With only months remaining in 2026 and no alternative vehicles or missions positioned for a surface landing, trader consensus on "No" at 99.3% aligns with verified agency plans. Unlikely swing factors such as an unforeseen private-sector acceleration or major regulatory override remain improbable given current hardware maturity and testing requirements.
