There's no way they're getting rapid turnaround with the damage it's has sustained on the last two tests.

I’m always amazed by statements like this. Starship is currently a test program and is rapidly evolving. They’re improving it as they learn.

What you said is akin to looking at the Wright brothers plane and saying “no way that thing crosses the Atlantic.”

It will improve rapidly until it does.
