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.Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects near-certainty at 95.8% "No" for a human moon landing in 2026, driven by NASA's recent reprofiling of Artemis III—originally eyed for a 2027 lunar touchdown but now shifted to low-Earth orbit demonstrations testing SpaceX's Starship Human Landing System (HLS) and Blue Origin alternatives. The successful Artemis II crewed lunar flyby, splashing down April 10 after orbiting the Moon, marked a milestone but underscored persistent delays in HLS maturation, including Starship's iterative testing and orbital refueling challenges. With no other missions viable this year amid supply chain hurdles and regulatory certifications, traders price in historical Artemis slips; an improbable acceleration via private efforts or flawless Starship demos could shift odds, though technical risks remain high.
