Best Answer

No.

Additional Information:

The balloon would easily expand enough to explode long before it left Earth's atmosphere. Then gravity would cause all the debris to fall back to Earth.

If the balloon was strong enough and did not explode, even then it would not float into space. Even a very light hydrogen filled balloon would become less and less buoyant as it rose into thinner and thinner air. (It's the old Archimedes Principle.)
