Gravity turn. Do you need to do it?

[Flixxbeatz]

A gravity turn is almost always necessary. Unless you want a very fuel inefficient rocket, i'd suggest gravity turning would be an excellent idea.

Going to Jool, using Orion NPP:

1- Wait until Jool is a few degrees from the launchpad.

2- BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

3- ????

4- PROFIT!

Abusing the laws of physics doesn't count.

No law of physics was violated during demonstration.

Actually captain only proves the point, using NPP to get to jool directly is INCREDIBLY wasteful and inefficient

Science - abusing the laws of physics since 1679.

Yes but if you can go to Eve and/or Duna in a few hours when using it then why not?

expediency ≠ efficiency
