i feel like it should be going up

Hello

Rockets don't just fly straight up

maybe not straight up but at least up

And bam you are in the moon

the objective, though, is to get into orbit, not to just get into space.

that rocket is going down

That rocket is actually going down. it's falling along the earth's curve.

ur assuming the earth is curved

it's a super efficient way to get into orbit.

prove curvature

yes, I am.

Oh here we go again

well, let's not jump to that just yet.

no show me curvature

I'm just saying that's the *reason* why rockets have that trajectory.

prove it u said its falling along earths curve

Grab a weather balloon and a camera

120k feet its flat blooky

they lready did it

120k feet ain't high enough

to shoot straight upwards is inefficient.

Mt Everest is higher than that

drew ur saying its a fact that rocket is going to space because its falling down earths curve but that whole thing is based off the assumption earth is curved

There's a whole load of space junk though

mt everest is higher than 120k feet?

jeremy, I'm just explaining the mainstream reasoning why it takes that trajectory.

the mainstream is basing it off an assumption

120k feet is very high

drew what if the rocket never got higher than an airplane

would u stillt hink its going to space

then it would definitely be falling to the ground in all those pics haha

well someone here has the video where it doesnt get higher than an airplane

oh really? I'd like to see that one.

yesh someone here has it

however, and this is definitely assuming the earth is a globe, it makes perfect sense for rockets to take that trajectory.

maybe

they should get much higher before they start curving down though the rockets dont get that high

look at the pic its not higher than a commercial airliner

it's hard to tell how high they are, but they are quite high when they start angling, allegedly.

well one of them has a plane in it ill have to find it
