Anyway, we do send rockets left or right. It’s required to get into orbit, since basically orbits are something moving fast enough sideways so that it always misses Earth. We don’t send rockets down, obviously, because that would be into the ground. But if you’re talking in cardinal directions then yes, we do fly rockets in all directions. Polar orbits are called that because the satellite flies north- or southwards.
The reason why rockets launch facing up (opposite gravity; not north) is because it’s more efficient to leave the thick parts of the atmosphere before getting most of your speed because of drag. You could launch a rocket parallel (tangential) to a point on Earth it’d just take a lot more fuel. Space planes do technically launch like that, but they use the atmosphere to their advantage by using wings (lift) to gain height.
There’s ground below every point on Earth. There just might be some water on top of it too. Also Antarctica is a continent with ground underneath the ice. The North Pole is the one without ground (immediately) below it. Hence the Arctic Ocean on maps.
Which ice wall? There are lots of walls of ice in the world. The South Pole is in Antarctica which (depending on where you approach it from) can look like a wall of ice.
No, Antarctica is a continent which contains the South Pole. People have been to the South Pole, if Antarctica were actually just an ice wall the South Pole would not exist and so would not be possible to visit.
🤨

What ground? There’s something below South Pole?
At this point you’re obviously just pretending to be a complete moron, right?
Alr, you caught me. I made it too obvious.
Today wasn’t the best day for me and some of the people here are rigid, thought i’ll have some fun lol
Nope. I was wrong, you really ARE a fucking moron, just for different reasons.
Down and South are not the same thing.

I’m talking about South Pole not the Ice Wall
Which ice wall? There are lots of walls of ice in the world. The South Pole is in Antarctica which (depending on where you approach it from) can look like a wall of ice.
Nahhh man, those are different things.
There’s Antarctica which is (depending on where you approach it from) might look like a continent, but is actually an ice wall.
Then there’s the South Pole. South Pole is in the bottom part of earth.
Those are different things.
No, Antarctica is a continent which contains the South Pole. People have been to the South Pole, if Antarctica were actually just an ice wall the South Pole would not exist and so would not be possible to visit.
Nahh, people have been to Antarctica and they lied they’ve been to South Pole.
South Pole is in the bottom. That’s why it’s hard to visit. You’d either have to drill your way there or get out of the atmosphere and go downnn
How do people know the South Pole isn’t in Antarctica if they’ve never been to it?
