Well, it is very difficult to launch straight upward. In fact, at launch, the design is to take advantage of the Earth’s momentum and launch eastward so that less launch energy is needed to escape Earth’s gravity. Spacecrafts are designed to travel through the most efficient gravitational path to the target planet.
