Oven roasting a prime rib cooks the meat, but leaves it with alot of steak juice, which makes it look reddish

Nah, they'll just fill it as much as possible until the TWR of the whole stack is low enough to reach Saturn V tier, even with max throttled engines. Over time payload will increase enough for tankers to bring a pretty absurd amount of fuel up in one go, and I think SpaceX is anticipating this. Just look at how Falcon 9 started with a payload to LEO of 20,000 lbs with 1.0 all the way to 50,000 lbs with Block 5. I doubt that Starship's improvement will be that drastic, considering that they're starting off with all the knowledge they knew after Block 5, but the massive improvements between Raptor 1 and 2 are still a good sign that they're far from peaking at the start.

Think about how SpaceX is optimizing starship's launch cadence in every possible way... They've designed the booster and orbiter to be as simple and as easy to manufacture as possible, literal tubes with flat wings and simplistic curves, which is also playing into their goal of almost zero post flight processing, just launch it right after it lands, plus reusability. SpaceX is literally planning on rapid cadence with a whole fleet of orbiters, with maybe a half dozen boosters assigned to each launch pad, with current plans calling for 2 at Kennedy, 2 at Boca, and 2 at sea. Mars is happening bros
