Suggest they should leave Earth.

If I knew of a way off this rock, do you think I'd let them enjoy it LMAO

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.

Technically a spiral because you start with orbital momentum just from standing still on the surface of earth when starting. You'd have to intentionally offset that to go straight but that's not the most efficient way
