Why is a rocket trajectory curved after launch?
During every rocket launch, the rocket follows a curved trajectory. This isn’t a mistake… you will see the exact same thing in every other video of a rocket launch. Even so, it doesn’t seem to make sense. Rockets are supposed to go into space, right? So wouldn’t it make more sense if they went straight up in a line, rather than following a parabolic path? They’d reach space much faster that way, it would seem. There must be a reason, because rocket scientists tend to be pretty smart, so, why do they not go straight up? Let's explore it....
