To get to space, a rocket just needs to point upwards, and fire its rocket engine with enough power to beat and exceed the acceleration of gravity. It needs to fire its engine long enough (and therefore go fast enough) so that by the time it has slowed down to a halt, it will be in space (100km up).
ORBIT is a different story. To reach orbit, a rocket has to not only go up, but has to go sideways too. Orbit is basically reaching a point high enough above the planet that atmosphere doesn't slow you down very much (like in space), and then going fast enough sideways so that when gravity pulls you down, you end up 'falling over the edge' of the planet.
Imagine if you shot a cannon ball fast enough, off a high enough mountain, so that by the time it starts to fall to the ground, the Earth has curved away from it. It would keep on falling forever, wouldn't it? That's orbit.
