After a 335 mission success streak, a Falcon 9 second stage failed to relight and deploy a group of Starlink satellites into the correct orbit. All are expected to be lost. The FAA is requiring an investigation.

Market resolves when Falcon 9 successfully returns to flight (local time of liftoff). No booster landing or recovery, successful or otherwise, is necessary. If F9 does not return to flight this year, market will resolve to January 2025 or later.

@HansPeter @DavidFWatson @CharlieGarcia @ChristopherRandles As betters on the erroneous duplicate November 2024 entries, please let me know if you’d prefer me to resolve both as November or rename one to December.

rename to december

rename to december

Two Novembers?

Sorta seems like this should be an exclusive market, since only one of these can resolve 'true'. Although perhaps you've set it up this way so that you can resolve the individual months as they pass?

Agree, this should be a "sums to 1" market. I'm interested in betting on this, but I don't think this market is probably a good place to do it.

@traders I made a version of this in the "on or before" format which is my personal favorite form for date / schedule questions. If there's interest I could also make a "resolves to exactly one" version.

Ah, I missed that that was an option setting this up. I should’ve done that - especially since it would’ve prevented us from having multiple markets competing on this topic. Apologies.

No worries! It's a good topic, and honestly I'd like to see more related questions about the failure and return to flight, but haven't put time into figuring those out...
