G0ULI, the fuselages probably house enormous landing gear, and a second fuselage is probably needed because an asymmetric design (preferably for the reason you mentioned) can't deal with the weight of the fuelled rocket on the ground. I'm only guessing, but those things are damned heavy, so it fits.
