Original Note:
A rocket must curve its trajectory post-launch, if it wants to enter the Earth’s orbit. If it didn’t do that and continued to go straight up, it would eventually reach a point where its fuel would run out and, most likely, it would end up plummeting back to Earth like a stone. https://www.scienceabc.com/nature/universe/why-do-rockets-follow-a-curved-trajectory-while-going-into-space.html#:~:text=In%20a%20nutshell%2C%20a%20rocket%20must%20curve%20its,up%20plummeting%20back%20to%20Earth%20like%20a%20stone.
