Human moon landing in 2026?
3%
Real price history (past month), from Polymarket. Down-sampled to 24 points.
What the market is pricing
The market prices this at a remote chance, and that probability has remained unchanged over the past week. A 3% likelihood reflects skepticism about the feasibility of mounting a crewed lunar landing within the next two years given current spacecraft development timelines.
How this market resolves
This market settles Yes if any human-crewed spacecraft lands on the moon by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET; otherwise it settles No. A touchdown with humans aboard counts, even if technical issues occur during or after landing.

What could move it
- Official announcements from space agencies or private programs about launch readiness and mission schedules could shift odds if they signal acceleration or delay.
- Unexpected technical setbacks or test failures in relevant crewed spacecraft programs would likely narrow the window further as 2026 approaches.
