Could a balloon fly off into space?

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.)

Hot air balloons fly due to the principle of buoyancy. Heated air inside the balloon is lighter than the cooler air surrounding it, causing the balloon to rise. The burner inside the balloon heats the air, which expands and becomes less dense, lifting the balloon off the ground.
