[QUOTE="Ramjet, post: 513679, member: 214"] The thing with horizontal velocity is that it is much more fuel efficient to do it above the Karmin line. Gravity may be almost the same as at ground level but friction/drag is significantly reduced at those altitudes. It would take MASSIVE amounts of fuel to be orbital while still in Earth's atmosphere.
