00:00And now another thought experiment that I came across, which might still sound crazy today.
00:05Instead of making major changes to the system architecture, it would superficially make sense
00:10to strap together three such super heavy boosters to transport heavy payloads or to reach complex
00:17orbits. I admit, it looks extremely cool and as a nerd, I would be really excited to see it.
00:23But not everything that glitters is gold. Unfortunately, it's not always that easy to
00:28strap orbital rockets together and launch them. If SpaceX starts working on a post-Starship
00:34program, then they'll have to think very carefully about which direction they want to go.
00:40They have to think very carefully about how to proceed in order to be able to use all the
00:45infrastructure they've already built. These two programs would then relate to each other like the
00:50Falcon 9 to the Falcon Heavy. But let's not count our chickens before they hatch. So let's take a look
00:56at some very interesting things now.
