With a few exceptions (CZ-5B), don't most upper stages start off in a suborbital trajectory? I don't think the mission failure was the booster's fault... |

Yeah, but that's less funny. You usually use atmosphere optimized engines on the first, reusable booster stage. Firing them to circularize would be insanely wasteful. Also good luck getting the booster to land near the launch site after going into orbit. |
