Recent milestones with Starship V3 vehicles, including Flight 13’s intact ship splashdown and undamaged heat shield data plus prior Super Heavy booster catches via tower arms, have strengthened trader confidence in rapid reusability timelines. Ongoing hardware refinements like improved Raptor 3 engine filtering, first tile reuse on Flight 14, and the imminent orbital test targeting September 22—complete with Starlink V3 deployment and extended in-space operations—highlight accelerating progress toward full booster and ship recovery. Elon Musk’s statements on likely 2027 rapid reflight further support the 66.5% implied probability for success before 2028, though ship catch attempts, regulatory clearances, and reentry durability remain key swing factors that could shift consensus if delays arise.
