Market rules

The market resolves to "Yes" if Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket achieves at least one successful launch (liftoff and delivery of payload to the target orbit/trajectory; landing of the first stage is not required) by December 31, 2026, according to the company’s official announcements (https://www.blueorigin.com/news) or NASA/FAA. An accident, loss of payload, or postponement of the launch to 2027 means the resolution is "No."
