Between Aug. 4 and Aug. 10, 2026, SpaceX flew at least three Falcon 9 missions, confirming the market's outcome. On Aug. 4, a Falcon 9 lifted off from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, carrying 24 Starlink satellites on the company's 90th Falcon 9 flight of the year. On Aug. 5, another Falcon 9 launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, deploying three AST SpaceMobile BlueBird direct-to-cell satellites. On Aug. 8, SpaceX launched the Starlink 17-38 mission, again from SLC-4E at Vandenberg, sending up 24 more Starlink satellites; the first-stage booster, B1093, completed its 16th flight and landed on the droneship Of Course I Still Love You. Spaceflight Now described the Aug. 8 flight as part of a continuing West Coast launch surge, noting it was SpaceX's 50th California launch of 2026, coming as the company's Florida cadence temporarily eased amid Starship preparations at Starbase. The three launches within the seven-day window illustrate SpaceX's routine high-frequency operating pattern, enabled by rapid reusable-booster turnaround and parallel operations across pads in California and Florida. The prediction-market community, which favored YES at 67 percent on three votes, correctly anticipated this outcome.
