Default And about that cluster---

Those outboard motor locations seem (to me, at least) to be unnecessarily spread apart. Maybe I don't understand whatever configuration limitation required this, but it looks borderline unsafe to me.

One late ignition, or one failed ignition, and that thing looks like it would be prone to cartwheeling above the end of the launch rod/rail. A healthy dose of extra launch rod/rail length would seem to be indicated.

If I was serving as RSO, that rocket would be assigned to an "away" pad.
