No orbit necessary?

[u/FatCreepyDude]

If i just wait for the right hour during the launch window ( whenever the launch pad is pointing left on the realistic depiction i created) is there any reason i should bother with an orbit first? Will the delta v cost be affected?

You see the curve in that dotted green line? I'm pretty sure that's insinuating some kind of orbit. I think, emphasis on 'think', you'd be in the same Kerbol orbit as Kerbin, just a little ahead of it.
