Meanwhile at SpaceX Starbase
While jealous Bezos hurls lawsuits and meanie words at Musk, SpaceX rolls BoB (big ol' booster) back out to the pad with a bazillion D12-0's hanging out of the back.

A buddy of mine in the late 80's tried launching a 10' tall Space Shuttle stack on 47 D12 boosters.
Used a broomstick for a "Launch Rodd". It was a flaming disaster that still provides laughs.

Does video exist for this? I’d love to see it!

I imagine it went something like this, but at a larger scale:

The guy was assessing his failure well with comments about using larger fins, better construction, etc...then he said less nose weight.

No video and no fins at all.
It was after we graduated HS. Think was ~1989. I served as "RSO" and gave the thumbs up with ZERO fire extinguishing equipment whatsoever. Thing immediately "kartwheeled" off the pad, with an ignited "airframe". Better than a PMC Powr-PRANGG. It was doomed to disaster. Another buddy and I still razz him about it.
