Musk retweeted a post explaining the Starship "chopsticks" catch mechanism, stating that theoretically it could achieve a one-hour turnaround time. Musk explained to Ron Baron why SpaceX uses the launch tower's "chopsticks" mechanical arms to catch Starship, comparing it to "Mr. Miyagi catching a fly in *The Karate Kid*, just scaled up," and noted that landing directly back at the launch site enables the fastest turnaround, theoretically allowing the Super Heavy booster to be relaunched every hour, enabling Starship to fly like an airplane.
