I want to know, if they didn't go off into space, where the hell did they go?

And if the complaint is that these were just low-earth orbit, then what about the Apollo missions? These guys were gone for days and days after take off before landing in ocean. Where were they if not in space?

They couldn't have been flying around in the atmosphere. If the physics of rockets in space, imagine the engineering to keep a craft floating around the atmosphere for 10 days?

Rockets flying in space is a far simpler explanation than any alternative.
