Apologies for the above, that comment belongs on the post about Blue Origin’s New Glenn flight today. My browser is behaving strangely.
On topic – I hope – I don’t think either of Berger’s ideas is either simplified or quicker. The thing that will reduce the number of tanker flights needed to the lowest possible number is to put an additional pair of Raptors on the inner ring of V4 Super Heavies and three more RVacs on each V4 tanker and boost maximum loads at maximum G all the way to LEO.
