  1 - well, why travel vertically when there is nothing there?
  2- and probably more practical, the vast majority of propulsion requires using planets gravitational pull to slingshot through space. Space craft simply do not carry enough fuel to push themselves very far at all. So, nothing to slingshot off of by traveling vertically, nowhere to go

  3 days before he was assasinated Lincoln was in Monroe, Maryland.
  
  3 days before he was assasinated Kennedy was in Marilyn Monroe

  I like to watch shows about astronomy. Recently, combinations of 2D and 3D models were used to describe the effect that the gravity of the sun has on planets' orbits. It baffled me to see the sun sitting in the middle of a 3D cone of depression while the planets were placed in 2D space, like in the photo below.
  
  
  
  The planets are not all in a flat plane like this photo shows, but how would you go about creating a model of it?

  Whenever I watch multiple shows on space/universe I'm up all night thinking "Where does it start and end?"

  I was surprised no one beat me to it honestly. I thought that show would be popular on here.
