Why is that - wouldn't you be working against solar gravity? Like you don't have to get them there quickly, just launch them in some orbit that will decay and be taken in?

I remember watching a video about that. The gist is that you have to leave earth orbit or something idk.

You leave earth orbit into a solar orbit that is slightly shifted depending on which direction you were facing when you left earth's orbit
