AI:
Rockets do not go straight up because they need to achieve high horizontal speedânot just high altitudeâto enter orbit. If they went straight up, they would run out of fuel, fall back down, and crash, as the goal is to travel at roughly 17,500 mph (28,200 kph) sideways to perpetually "fall" around the Earth.
