You can have an orbit in any direction, but usually they are along the equator because the rocket can gain "free" speed by using the Earths rotation. You can have "retrograde" orbits which orbit the equator in the opposite direction but the launch would need much more fuel, also "polar" orbits which go north/south, used to cover the whole surface of the Earth as it rotates underneath (also used to piss off flat Earthers!)
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
