why change a winning concept?
I count only 4 1st stage booster rockets each with 4 combustion chambers and 1 second stage (middle) also with 4 combustion chambers.
One thing I always noticed was, that our rocket engines were so much more powerful than the Ruskies! Look how many there are to get this thing off the pad! The Saturn V had just five for lift -off!
What a monster. Notice the small engines are on swivels to correct guidance? Cool!
