What should it be instead?

I personally wish we got Sea Dragon or at least a scaled down version of it that was still more powerful than Saturn V so that launching shit into orbit never becomes a problem of weight/mass fraction etc...

And yes I'm talking about launching fully fueled stages into orbit as a payload, imagine the launch vehicle....

How big is too big for rockets? At what point do you think a size is simply too large to be feasible.

Why not both, though I do love the idea behind the sea dragon and how much shit it can carry in one launch, would be perfect for sending up all the materials to construct spacecraft in orbit

>but in reality there's no way they would be able to deal with combustion instability in a rocket engine nozzle that huge, it'd shred itself immediately.

Do we know that? Have we actually built such a large engine and nozzle and assembled and test fired it? If not then thats just meaningless speculation

We really need to bring the concept of big dumb boosters back
