The fantasy part was the 372-inch solid motor to be used as strap-ons.
The largest diameter solid rocket motor ever tested was 260 inches,
which is a lot smaller when you take into account diameter vs area
involves a square term.
Besides, what payload of 4 million pounds (2,000 tons) would fit into the
payload capsule?
That is the weight of a large WW II destroyer warship.
