Straight line?

Imagine you are on a flight and suddenly pushed out into the open
[atmosphere]

You tend to fall like this under gravitational free fall : shown by path
etc.

If you have the guts and energy you can dictate your path to take the * * *
route which is an Euclidean straight line.

You cannot now say that space is curved [well the free fall is curved under
gravity : I won't accuse earth of causing the space to warp]
I will not call the curved path the shortest [though it spent least energy]

I am sure I will reach the destination faster traversing path * * * etc.
[any footballer or sportsman knows this]

What does this mean?

To us : trying to understand
