hi
i was wondering why rockets always start upright, as if they would start in a position parallel to the surface of the earth(or at least almost parallel to the earth, but at the equator this should not be such a problem, if there are no mountains or anything else close to the point where the rocket is launched) one could use centrifugal force to escape from the gravitational field of the earth.
why is this not a good idea, as afaik centrifugal force seems to be not used at all?
