Will Could SpaceX ever make a Heavy version of Starship Super Heavy

As of now, SpaceX is preparing for Starship Flight 4, and once starship is mature enough and achieves Elon Musk's goal, will they make a Heavy version like with Falcon. Even Before Integrated flight test 1 of Starship, YouTuber piolet1549 published a video of a Starship Heavy concept (name of video: Starship Heavy concept[Fully Reusable] Stock KSP). It showed 3 super heavy cores strapped together to form a starship that can land on the Mun (the equivalent of the moon in KSP) and come back without refueling.

That got me wondering: Is it possible? If yes, how? If no, why? Would it be because of re-entry heating in which the center core stage may not survive?

Also, will starship be able to finally travel to Mars or the moon without in orbit refueling with the center core being expended and the side boosters caught on land.
