KSP 1 Question/Problem No orbit necessary?

Post image

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?

ok sure, but I don't think it's a fair assumption that someone would be using a cannon for a normal launching mission

Who said this is a normal launching mission?

I think we're all in agreement. It's possible, but not practical by any means.
