Every rocket that has ever reached orbit has done so not by defying gravity, but by cooperating with it — curving across the sky in a maneuver as mathematically inevitable as the laws Newton first described. To orbit Earth is not to escape its pull, but to fall around it so swiftly that the ground perpetually curves away beneath you. The arcing trajectory of a launch, so often mistaken for a course correction, is in fact the only honest path physics permits.
