This is normal, because it's not staying in Earths orbit. I travels faster and closer to Earth at first, to gain speed and will swing shot after utilizing Earths gravity. Too make it to the moon they went around Earth and the moon performing a swing shot to break away.
The rocket has 8 mins to reach 11 km per second in order to keep an orbit. It's not going to go straight up then when out of atmosphere make a right angle for orbital trajectory. I recommend every flat earthers to enroll on astrophysics and optic courses to get a basic grasp on these subjects. I didn't come across one who wasn't confused about these.
Though I'm likely not going to change minds here let me explain.
That rocket was not flying horizontally. It flew up from launch and into a curved trajectory in order to keep forward momentum over gravity. It was curving into its designed orbit.
You can't just launch a rocket straight up into space and then pivot 90 ° into a prescribed orbit.
Gravity is going to overwhelm the rocket's momentum causing it to fall back to earth.
So a launch is designed to propel a rocket into a curve to orbit.
If it was just launching straight up then ask yourself, why don't airplanes just launch straight up?
Airplanes roll down a runway to get momentum then with wings achieve lift. The plane keeps moving forward as it continues to increase its altitude. This allows say a commercial airliner to eventually reach altitudes of 30 to 40 thousand feet of normal service altitude.
An airliner fully loaded could not just stand on its tail and launch to reach 30-40 thousand feet.
Look let's use a human. Why do we use stairs to climb to higher floors in buildings and not just use vertical ladders? Because the gradual increase in height as you more easily move up and forward on each step is physically easier to overcome the effects of gravity on our bodies than to just climb only vertically on a ladder.
I could go on, but as I said I doubt I will change any minds of those who refute space, a globe earth and physics.🤔
I agree with the need to translate vertical into horizontal in order to orbit, but I'm here to tell you that today's jet fighters can indeed go vertical to 25,000'! I saw one takeoff Loveland-Ft. Collins airport, do a tight circle around the airport practically standing on wingtip then shoot STRAIGHT UP on afterburners before leveling off to head west into the sunset. Still get chills from that memory...

Complete utter joke these space agencies like NASA, and SpaceX etc.
