That's, uh, not really how that works. A taller atmosphere would mean you have to go through more of it, but unless it's not a terrestrial then the atmosphere won't be that much taller.

If it is a non-terrestrial planet, it's unlikely anyone would be building rockets on there to begin with.

If it has a higher gravity would the atmosphere technically be lower since it will squish up closer to the planet?
