    I think this may already have an answer here: https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/29753/are-side-boosters-sometimes-angled-even-if-they-are-symmetrically-arranged – Anthony X Nov 27 '19 at 04:25
  • That duplicate id for a different rocket with very different boosters (liquid vs solid), and the answer references, characteristics of those rockets (such as the ability to control or predict burn time). While i imagine the answers will revolve around similar trade-offs, i don't think its fair to say this is a duplicate. – ANone Nov 28 '19 at 14:43
