Thanks but still not convincing.

Thanks Hentenza, but you still don't see the rocket go straight up.

That's because they are going into orbit around the globe. Not that this hasn't been explained to you before. More proof that you aren't really interested in evidence.

Anyone who's watching a launch would expect the rocket to go straight up & not arch over. To say I'm not interested in evidence is not true, I watched the launch didn't I ? Thank you @Hentenza .

Is that it?
"The rocket didn't go into space because I would have expected it to go straight up, and it didn't"?

What kind of argument is that?

The closest they can come to showing a rocket going up and into the sky. Is like this type of video where the rocket goes up and eventually begins to fly parallel to the surface of the earth, where it will eventually come back down. After a flight to get out of the view of the public.

​

But a video will never be seen from a rocket that shows like this CGI does of leaving the earth and going into outer space. Why for one thing there is no such thing as outer space and rockets can only go up 20+ miles before they come back down.

​

Nonsense.

That is completely false. If you want to launch into orbit then you need both altitude and horizontal velocity, which is why all rocket launches arch to the East in order to take advantage of the rotational velocity of the earth.

The trajectory always arches because the earth is round and rotating. Just like airplane routes always arch for the same reason. The rocket launch is at t-6 hours right now. I did forget that you don’t live in the US so for you just add 6 hours to your present time to watch the launch.
