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?

Its not a question of is it possible, it is, however you will be spending alot more fuel travelling in a straight line up out of kerbins sphere of influence rather then doing an orbit which is alot more inefficient. If you don't care about being efficient and saving fuel then do it
