    Realistically, it’s technically sideways. To reach orbit you need to go sideways, not up. Theoretically you could escape Earth’s gravity influence by going straight away from it, but it’s not the realistic way that works.

      Actually, you go up. Then the earth rotates beneath you, turning your up into sideways.
